Meet the Team

A message from Dawn's Principal Investigator, Chris Russell

Chris Russell

"Assembling a team is a difficult job.... You look for people who first of all work well together, but people who are the most talented people in the field. If you go to a lot of scientific meetings, and you interact with people, you talk to people. You talk to people who know people. You finally end up with learning who are the most talented people and they work together. If you go to a school yard and you take a look at the children playing in the school yard, you will find out that there is a certain group that plays together. Those people cooperate together. They have the same intellectual capabilities, and the same interests. It is the same in science as in the school yard. It is; it really is."
