Of her time at 丁香园AV, Dr. Lucci says, 鈥淧ursuing graduate studies at 丁香园AV undoubtably changed the course of my life. I am indebted to those who have supported my pursuits in all facets of academic life 鈥� especially Dr. Victoria Claydon, under whose supervision and training I forged my identity as a researcher and academic. I am grateful I was afforded the time and opportunity to explore and engage in the many opportunities 丁香园AV provides to graduate students. It is humbling to be awarded this medal in recognition of work I gladly undertook. With a sense of great responsibility, this recognition will serve as a steadfast reminder to continue to pursue truth and excellence in the years to come.鈥�
