Vicka Rael Corey received her Bachelor's degree from the Johns Hopkins University in 1987, when she was eighteen years old. Since then, she has learned to drive cars and motorcycles, for which she received respectively a driver's license from the State of Washington in 1992 and an M classification from the State of Massachusetts in 1998. The most important thing she has learned from all this is that on the road it is most important to be cautious and safe, but in science, one should risk being wrong or lost without fear, and trust that the data will ultimately guide one along towards the truth.
