Respect to her, Im researching on Aciclovir for an exam in a few days, and its amazing what she has done. A true inspiration for all scientists. I particularly like her quote at the start: "Don't be easily discourage, by yourself or other people" Totally true! :o)

She's my hero. Such an astonishing person and an inspiration for all young researchers.

Does it make you laugh how much celebrities are put on such a pedastool, paid millions and mourned all because they entertain us, There should be a national holiday for what Gertrude has acheived what an amazing lady, she is my absolute hero and if it wasnt for one of the drugs she invented my life would never be the same, she has save thousands upon thousands of peoples lives and you have to love someone so dearly for that, thank you much we will never forget you xxx
