Click the image above to go to another note of tribute, this one in the current Atlantic, for a remarkable leader in academia, this one at the beginning of her career:

Eric Lander, director of the Broad Institute, a genomics research center affiliated with MIT and Harvard, has known Sabeti since the late 1990s, when she was an undergraduate advisee at MIT. “She had this boundless optimism that she could make [MIT] a better place,” he says. And so, along with being class president, playing varsity tennis, serving as a teaching assistant and publishing original research, Sabeti started MIT’s Freshman Leadership Program. The five-day curriculum—focusing on “inclusivity, empowerment, value defining and leadership skill building”—is still going strong.

“She was able to create this just through sheer force of will,” Lander says. “She has this force of will and a caring about making the world a better place, really fixing the world.”
