It has always been a mixed bag, being the spouse of a political figure. Just as it is true that you and your family life come second, you also get great privilege and access to power, and power just on your own. They've known that, and we've known that, and that's a reason they haven't complained.

It turned out it was easier to write the grants because we were proposing bringing a lot of different people and disciplines together in one spot. I think we'll garner even more interest and research dollars working with people on campus and around the world once they see what we can do here.
