From Academia to the Race Track

By Kevin Maillard

ADVERTISEMENTS

Gal_derby2  The NYT has a story about Michelle Nihei, former professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins, who is now a horse trainer at Saratoga Springs.  She has 14 horses there, and has won an equal number of races in her new career so far.

Some of the more interesting quotes:

"She?s proving to the world that she?s as good as we thought she?d be. I don?t think there?s too many other Ph.D.s on the backstretch.?-an owner whose horses are trained by Nihei

?How happy was I at Hopkins? Politics was starting to become involved and I was naïve. You think success will come your way on merit alone, but politics play a part and I don?t think I really understood that. I truly wasn?t as happy doing that as I thought I?d be." -Nihei herself

An interesting take on career change!
