“My PhD was not fast out of the gate.” — Donna Strickland Quote

“My PhD was not fast out of the gate.”

“I got paid the same as my male counterpart grad students and onward.”

“Marie Curie is in a class all her own as the first female winner and still the only person to win the Nobel Prize in two different science categories. An astounding scientist.”

“One measure of twentieth-century time is the supersonic three and three-quarter hours it takes the Concorde to fly from New York to Paris, gate to gate. Other measures come with the waits on the expressways and the runways.”

“When you say religious, a gate goes down in people's minds that have sensitivities to that word - for whatever reason, whatever experience they've had - and all of a sudden they will not watch it.”

“My first film out of the gate was financially so successful that I guess, being in Hollywood, you get kind of put into a certain box.”
