Mary’s Story
I am ABC: American-born Chinese. At birth I appeared healthy, so my parents—born in China—were shocked when I was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure at age three. Suddenly, they were forced to learn medical terms such as ‘organ donation,’ ‘dialysis,’ and ‘kidney transplant.’ The concepts were foreign and frightening to them, but they still underwent tests to see if they could donate a kidney to me. Unfortunately, neither was a match. In October 1985, I started peritoneal dialysis. On January 30, 1987, at age four and a half, I received my first kidney transplant at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NY.
I do not remember my young childhood of procedures, needles, and dialysis treatments. For me, my memories and my life began after that first kidney transplant. I walked, talked, ate like never before, made friends, went to school, danced to 80s music with my older sister, and laughed with my parents.
As I grew, however, the lifetime of immunosuppressant medications caused weight gain, uncontrollable bladder issues, and developmental concerns with my left hip and lumbar spine. When I was almost twelve, my family and I were told that my first transplanted kidney was failing, with only 10% function left. I was put on the national waiti

Decade of Discovery
As December winds down, we mark not just the end of another year of discovery at Caltech but the conclusion of a decade of remarkable accomplishments and research breakthroughs.
During this decade, as in previous decades, Caltech scientists and engineers reinvented the landscape of scientific endeavor: from the first detection of gravitational waves and the discovery of evidence for a ninth planet in the solar system; to bold missions to explore and understand the solar system; to the development of new methods to see inside the body and the brain and understand the universe around us; to the invention of devices to improve human health, some taking inspiration from nature; to the initiation of a transformative new effort to support research into the most pressing challenges in environmental sustainability.
Caltech faculty, alumni, and former postdoctoral scholars were also recognized around the world for work that has shaped their respective fields, with 10 new Nobelists added to Caltech's ranks: Robert G. Edwards (postdoc '57–'58), 2010, Physiology or Medicine; Sir John B. Gurdon (postdoc '60), 2012, Physiology or Medicine; Martin Karplus (PhD '54), 2013, Chemistry; Eric Betzig (BS '83), 2014, Chemistry; Arthur B. McDon
