Professor Francois Gallichotte is, to put it lightly, a genius.
This isn't to denote a sense of superiority or mockery of others in her field--ask any one of them and they will say the same, and ask the woman herself to hear the opposite. Regardless of her beliefs, however, one doesn't earn a double major in archaeology and marine biology in the same 6 years of schooling by being anything other than an exemplary student and veritable master of their field, all at the crisp young age of 24--an age most dream of being halfway through anthropological studies alone, let alone the entire degree.

And despite her touchiness, moodiness, and sometimes short temper regarding how skeptics view her in the workplace, she remains a sweet, charming woman who would readily give everything she is if it means helping someone in
