WHEN SHE CAME TO US IN 2011, SHAWNTEL Richard Laiderman and Jack and Mary Carsten
OKONKWO was a City College of San Francisco Jung-Wha Song S. H. Cowell Foundation
student interested in the biological sciences. As a Mrs. L. W. Lane, Jr. David Davies and Jack Weeden
Living Systems intern, Shawntel worked alongside Chris Larsen and Lyna Lam Anne and Adrian Dollard
scientists and technicians studying a variety of David and Naja Lockwood Phyllis and Bill Draper
organisms including fish, plants, insects, and cells. Juann and Michael Luxton Kathie and James Dullanty
She learned to operate and maintain state-of-the- Amy McCombs and Bob Epstein and Amy Roth
art lab equipment, took on a project involving Frederick P. Currier The Evans Family
a bioluminescent marine microorganism that John and Leslie McQuown Sallie Griffith
caught her interest, and created and presented a Cameron Atherton Phleger Kevin King and Meridee Moore
demonstration for an Exploratorium After Dark event. Jeanne and Sanford Robertson Michael Lampert

This Exploratorium internship had a huge impact on
Leonard Shustek and Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence T. Papay
Shawntel. This year, she’s graduating from a four-year Donna Dubinsky Karl Pietri
institution, conducting research at UCSF, applying for Ellie and Skip Smith Alison and Mark Pincus
graduate school and a National Science Foundation H. Marcia Smolens and Ropes & Gray LLP
fellowship, has co-authored one paper, and will soon Richard Rubin Raj and Soo Venkatesan
be first author of another. The unique environment
and access to top-notch laboratory equipment in our
lab gave Shawntel an opportunity to explore, first-
hand, a career in science.
