Since Maya was so young when she started looking into the effects of different drugs, she was denied the space to work
Instead of giving up, she decided to make her own lab in her basement, which is where she found the drug to prevent heart attacks

I've learned from this, that if you are told you can't do something, you should find your own way of doing it regardless. You don't wait for anything, but you do it differently. Maya never let her age define what she could or couldn't do, so why should anyone?
