Why Is Jenny Tung Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Jenny Tung is an evolutionary anthropologist and geneticist. She is an Associate Professor of Biology and a researcher at Duke University. In 2019, she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. Personal life Tung’s mother and father immigrated to the United States from China and moved to Maryland and then to Delaware where they had Tung and her older sister, Wenny. Tung’s father was a chemical engineer for DuPont, an American chemical company, and her mother was a teacher prior to their coming to the United States. Upon starting her undergraduate work at Duke University, Tung studied biology with the intent to become a physician, but she discovered her passion lay more in evolutionary biology after a taking a course on forging social ideals during her first semester. Tung is married to Sayan Mukherjee, a Duke University Professor of Statistical Science, Mathematics, and Computer Science.
