My wife is an astrophysicist. It's always great to hear of more women in the field. Plus, not many job titles sound cooler than "astrophysicist".

Jake, still getting her doctorate, but plans to do research and teach if all goes to plan. She is doing research now on pre-birth of stars. I figure she was switched at birth and came home with us - certainly didn't get it from me!
