As scientists, we like to plan, but sometime all it takes is just taking a chance.
My own pure chance? Some 25 yrs ago, an email sent to me by mistake that made me move to US to pursue a PhD in CS.
Love the stories of these amazing scientists brought to us … by chance 🤞

Looking back, I don’t see shortages & failures, just opportunities to grow stronger. From economic hardship to an opportunity for education. From a nearly failed AI class to a career in AI. From living under a travel ban to visiting ~50 countries. Failure is a recipe for success.
