Awesome story about two-time Olympian Susan Francia (rowing)

When I worked at Stanford there was an undergrad that was doing research at our lab and she was on the rowing team (had a scholarship for it).  The ream was ranked 6th in the country  and we all said, why don'ty you try out for the  1996 olympic team

She said no way. She would have to put her life on hold for at least a year and just  work on that all the time.

Very cool! I read the story about her mother being an immigrant/refugee who pioneered the development of mRNA vaccines - I may have even posted it in the Covid thread - but I didn't realize her daughter was an Olympian.
