And when a hundred people are doing the best they can possibly do and be the best they can possibly be, and I somehow am participating in a major way in that, it's so rewarding that I think it mitigates the sense of isolationabout it.
When women thinkabout careers in science and technology, they may wrongly believe the career would be one of isolation and lack of human contact, envisioning a lone scientist working in a lab or on a computer.
The most self-interested way to thinkabout the issue is to consider whether you would want to be neighbors with someone who had been held in isolation.
