"The colleagues I met in the Teaching Section encouraged me to present my work at APS meetings, apply for awards, apply to serve on APS committees and run for chair of the Teaching Section. They have also collaborated with me on symposia both in the U.S. and abroad, on grants and manuscripts. All of this helped me to be granted early tenure and promotion."
