"NIST is a great place to work; it’s like conducting research at an academic institution. We have some of the smartest people in the world on our campuses. I really enjoy getting to work on different research projects that matter to the nation and have an impact on its people. I work on human-centered technology projects which are all about helping others. What better organization to do that? I’ll add that the people I work with are amazing – my project teams, my group, my division, and my lab. All across NIST, I work with remarkable people who are excited about the work they do."
– Shanée Dawkins, computer scientist, Information Technology Laboratory
