Fun Facts
Dr. Rajan loves to travel. She says the most beautiful hike she’s done so far is Ice Lake Basin in Colorado, which “feels like middle Earth!”
Ice cream is Dr. Rajan’s guilty pleasure. “It can be snowing outside and I will still want ice cream.”
As a kid, she wanted to be an astronaut or NASA scientist when she grew up “because space is so limitless and fascinating, with so much more to explore!”
