For 25-year-old Kelly Barford, a fourth-year neuroscience graduate student working in the Winckler Lab, just keeping her schedule straight is a challenge. Each week she juggles time in her research lab, science classes she teaches in area elementary schools, and leadership roles in “Women in Math and Science” and “Science Delivered Charlottesville.” Recently, Barford took an hour in a coffee shop (coffee is pretty much a staple of her diet) to answer a few questions about the BIMS program—an interdisciplinary graduate program that prepares PhD students to become scientific leaders—and her personal path.
