By Kevin Maillard
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!
