Metin,

Being clever is only part of the package! The main reason - or so it seems - someone can get a job is that their service would make their employer more profitable.

Marie Curie was smart - and she was able to get funded (i guess:) because she put together a proposal that her backers felt would be good for humanity or good for their wallets:) or both!

Can you share with us what skills Daniela has? She is a mother - that's a demanding job - imagine having one of the worlds smartest people as a mother! She could check homework in 10 seconds and send the child back to the room for another three hours to correct it.

If any of her thesis papers discuss low cost methods for extracting hydrogen from seawater - tell her to give us a call!:)

I will google her to learn more. The world seems to send us a lot of very smart people from those places.
