Professor Peoples writes "Nikkita's understanding of the historical, evolutionary perspective of society is absolutely phenomenal. Her instincts on subtlety is easily remarkable. She is easily the best anthropology student I have ever had."

Dr. Albert Eisenstein writes "Nikkita's understanding of particle Physics and string theory compares to the most fervent researchers on the topic. I am completely convinced that if she were to proceed in a professorship in Theoretic Particle Physics, she just might be the one to solve Unification Theory.
