The NSF is perfect for her; it offers that polar research opportunity over the summers and it sounds like she can benefit from that.

Congrats to her! Although I will say that she’s going to be drinking a Coke when the grad students go out to happy hour, lol.

Yeah, I agree. Different people enjoy different things. I’m a regular doctoral student and not a genius, and I loved school - LOVED it. I spent my summer attending free summer school programs when I could, and reading and reading and writing when I couldn’t. I’m assuming that’s the way she felt about chemistry, and studying, when she was younger.
