Catie Graver, one of the female crews in the Shipboard Scientific Services Group on Research Vessel Atlantis. Catie is a shipboard technician and holds a bachelor degree in oceanography. Therefore, she knows what we scientists want and is able to assist us in a timely manner. I am always impressed by her hard-working attitude. When she operates the A-frame, she always gently lowers down or lifts Alvin for deployment or recovery. I feel that the A-frame is an extension of Catie's arm. Many of Catie's words during the interview really stick to my mind
"If you don't think there is a difference (between male and female), there should probably not a difference."
"Just do Things."
"Don't think there is a limitation to yourself".
PS: Dr. Jim Cowen often said the last two phases to encourage me. These two phases have helped me through many of my struggles and hesitations. 我跟凱蒂一起出海好多次了，她大學時主修海洋學，因此更知道在船上怎麼協助科學家，她總是用最快的方式幫我們解決問題。我最欣賞的是她認真做事的態度，尤其是她在操作船後方的A型大吊臂時，總是可以把艾文號(Alvin)輕輕地放入或抬出水面，大吊臂就像是她手臂延伸般的輕巧。 凱蒂在訪問中說的一些話，深植在我腦中，摘錄於此 『我覺得如果妳不去想男女有不同，真的就是沒有甚麼不一樣的』 『做就是了!』 『不要限制自己』 PS: 後面這兩句也是柯恩教授常跟我而提面命的，當遇到瓶頸或是猶豫不決的時候，多想想這兩句話，常常就讓我豁然開朗，然後可以繼續努力下去~
