While she is incredibly smart, she never make you feel like you are not when she is explaining something. She always has time for her colleagues and is willing to share her talents and work." and "Kristi Holmes was one of the "star" students in the NCBI Advanced Workshop for Bioinformatics Specialists (NAWBIS - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Class/NAWBIS/) I helped teach at NIH, and was so impressive that she was invited back in the following years as an instructor! She has been instrumental in developing and implementing Washington University’s Becker Medical Library’s Bioinformatics@Becker program, recognized as one of the leading library based bioinformatics support programs for bioscience research in the USA. In addition to having the scientific “mindset” to understand and therefore help bioscientists with their bioinfomation needs, she is also warm and personable and fun to work with. Kristi has been both a friend and colleague for several years, and I recommend her highly!"
