Not that long\\xa0ago, Anne\\xa0Galyean was a\\xa0full-time professional mountain bike racer and a full-time scientist and she had to make a choice, like being torn between two lovers. We are going to talk about that today.\\xa0\\xa0

Anne did her graduate school research at a government research lab in Maryland. \\u201cYou can imagine the people. A lot of pocket protectors,\\u201d she said. Meanwhile, she was sporting tattoos and a mohawk, and people would sort part ways when she walked down the hall, like the sea dividing. She has been\\xa0called a punk to which she responds,\\xa0\\u201cThat\\u2019s Dr Punk to you, sir.\\u201d\\xa0

That\\u2019s because Anne has a Ph.D in analytical chemistry, is a former pro mountain bike racer for\\xa0Yeti Fox National Enduro Team. She won the Big Mountain Enduro Series, Scott Enduro Cup Series, and was the fastest U.S. woman at the Aspen Enduro World Series event. She is so smart, at times, I found myself not really knowing how to respond to her. You\\u2019ll notice those moments, trust me.\\xa0

\\xa0

We\\u2019re going to talk about breaking stereotypes and the greater impact it has on society. also

  • The importance of good teachers
  • Her tattoo of the molecular structure of adrenaline
