It is funny sometimes where life can take us. One simple decision can have a long, and lasting, impact on where we go. Such is the case for Anne Dattilo, the subject of this video. While attending the University of Texas, she decided to sit in on a guest lecture. Little did she know, that lecture would have a dramatic impact on her life, taking her down a road she never imagined. It wasn't always an easy, straight path, but it did lead her to make some ground breaking discoveries, including identifying two planets that lie outside of our solar system. This is her story.
