Assistant Professor of Chemistry Laura Wysocki’s love for science was first inspired by her uncle, a meteorologist and professor at Cornell University.

“Whenever I saw him, he would have a logic puzzle or a challenge for me to try to figure out,” Wysocki tells Associate Director of Communications Rich Paige in this episode of Wabash on My Mind. “Even when I was a young child, he expected me to figure it out. And I started to enjoy that challenge and look forward to it.”
