who helped so much with data collection and with teaching me how to be a mentor. I am sincerely grateful for the time, support and contributions of my committee members-Teresa Treat, Daryl Cameron, Andy Todd, James Marchman, Mike O'Hara, and Bill Hedgcock. I am forever indebted to Teresa-this "altered replication" hopes to be half the mentor, scientist, teacher, advocate, and person that you are. I thank Jim Marchman for showing me that in every moment, we can choose to move toward what's important, come what may. My family deserves my deepest gratitude. Mom, thank you for modeling how to be equal parts scientist, caregiver, mom, handyman, artist, and friend; I hope I can one day juggle those roles as gracefully as you do. Dad, thank you for reminding me that this would be a marathon not a sprint and that I am capable of blooming where I'm planted. Grandpa Ritzmann, you're an inspiration! Thank you for setting a tremendous example and inexplicably reading all my articles. Finally, to Seth: you are my rock and I am the luckiest. Thank you for everything.
