As a passionate advocate for scientific research, Dr. McSherry also serves as Vice President of the board of trustees of the Leakey Foundation, an institution focused on human origins research and education.

“Through my Ph.D. in nuclear physics and business school courses, Rice provided me with the tools to pursue a career that was technically challenging, financially rewarding and, best of all, makes a difference for people,” said Dr. McSherry. “I will forever be grateful to Rice University for my experiences there.”
