One of the great privileges of academic life is the freedom to choose.  We are free to choose the topics of our research, the students we supervise, the courses we teach, the colleagues we collaborate with, and the service we provide for our scientific community and institutions.  Of course, these freedoms are conditional – we have to find funding for our research topics, students have to be interested in working with us and taking our courses, colleagues have to share our interests and our scientific community and institutions have to value our service.  Lynn Roberts’ record – of projects she has conducted, students that she has mentored and taught, collaborations that she has contributed to, and service that she has provided – shows that she has exercised her freedom to choose thoughtfully, with consideration for others and with the highest professional standards.  Lynn’s professional choices set an example for all of us as her colleagues and friends.
