“I had the opportunity to work with Stephanie on a complex project involving a patient association and prostate cancer experts. We struggled to get this work published because of the originality of the method we used. Stephanie was very supportive throughout the submission process to three different journals. She responds to authors very quickly. And I still don’t know how she manages to make complex ideas sound so simple!
