| “A treasured member of our faculty, Jhumki touched countless lives and left an indelible mark on our students and our school. She was a brilliant researcher and educator who, in her all too brief career, achieved great success in advancing the state of Science Education. Her death is a great loss for the field and for all of us who were fortunate enough to know her and work with her." Mary Brabeck Dean, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development New York University |
