I don't really know what the term Emeritus means, I think it might mean old? Regardless, my mother Jean was just awarded the title Emeritus Professor by the University of Colorado School of Medicine in the Division of Emergency Medicine. After many years, she's still involved and engaged in treating patients, patiently teaching students, and studiously investigating such interesting things as yeast infections, domestic violence (here, here, here, here, here and here), interstitial pregnancy and emergency contraception (seriously, thanks). Juvenile humor aside, very important and respected work, especially the work she's done in defining and tracking domestic violence statistically and the effect that has towards preventing it not only as a horrible act, but as a burden on the Health Care system. Anyway, I don't understand it all, but I know this: I'm beyond proud of her drive and contribution to this world. So here's to you and your accomplishments, Mom!
