It was hormones that drew Judith Campisi to study science: her own hormones, that is. ?I went to an all-girl Catholic high school,? she laughs, ?and I decided I?d had enough of the girls. I wanted to be where the boys were, and the boys were in the sciences.? But it was the excitement of lab life that kept her there. ?Science is always challenging, it?s never dull,? says Campisi, now a researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley Labs and the Buck Institute for Age Research.
