Jill Crittenden


Scientific Advisor, McGovern Institute

After getting her PhD at Baylor College of Medicine, Jill started at MIT on 01/01/00, when Y2K preppers expected widespread pandemonium. In those days, the train that runs through McGovern transported circus elephants and Jill would skip lab to see them walk down the Avenue with her young son. Jill persevered in research at MIT until the pandemic struck and, after failing to find any remainder Y2K treasure-troves, she overcame by joining the McGovern Headquarters.
