EPP/MSI alumna now leads a field division of NOAA’s research on atmospheric processes, quality, and climate

LaToya Myles, Ph.D., is a leader, a scientist, a mentor, an Educational Partnership Program with Minority Serving Institutions (EPP/MSI) alumna, and a collector of quotes. One day, while relaxing with an episode of “Grey’s Anatomy,” a character said something that she jumped to add to her quote collection: “If you want someone to run a 4-minute mile, you don’t chase them, you don’t give them something to run from. You give them something to run to.” In just two sentences, this quote captured the essence of her leadership style.
