[Nfb-science] Congratulations to Melissa

[Peter Donahue]

Good evening everyone,

	Congrats from Mary and myself on your achievements. It's great to
see accomplishments being praised rather than being scorned. We've been
dealing with that on some other lists. Here's hoping you'll be able to find
great jobs and can use them as stepping-stones to greater success in the
future. All the best.

Peter Donahue

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that you are not the only blind person to
have received a Ph.D. In a STEM field.
