Lucrecia’s C.V. made the best of her wandering career. The date listed for receipt of her undergraduate honors degree in biology obscured the seven and half years that passed after she first enrolled in her university. She listed lab positions she had held without stating that the positions were part-time. And the only indication she switched Ph.D. advisors thrice was hidden within the names of co-authors on her published papers.

But she was Lucrecia Crescent, Ph.D., Cellular and Molecular Genetics, Midgard University (1974), never mind that her thesis adviser’s work had drifted far from conventionally accepted molecular genetics.
