She first attended Miami University, where she obtained a degree in zoology. There, she was told she would be better off as a nurse. Yet as a proud African-American woman, she pushed her doubts aside and pursued her dreams. She went on to receive a medical degree at UC’s College of Medicine, where she was one of just six women in her graduating class — and the only African-American woman. Her determination paid off when she began an internship at Philadelphia General Hospital. There, she became fascinated with SCD after treating a child with the disease. After completing her pediatric training at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Gaston began practicing medicine in Lincoln Heights — a predominantly black neighborhood. From there, she began specializing in SCD at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute after her husband accepted a faculty position at Harvard.

Sudoku is played on a grid of 9 x 9 spaces. Within the rows and columns are 9 “squares” (made up of 3 x 3 spac- es). Each row, column and square (9 spaces each) needs to be filled out with the numbers 1-9, without repeating any numbers within the row, column or square. Does it sound compli- cated? Each Sudoku grid comes with a few spaces already filled in; the more spaces filled in, the easier the game – the more difficult Sudoku puzzles have very few spaces that are already filled in.
