One of her earliest projects with the team was to write about a technology spinoff that used digital imaging technology developed for Hubble in breast biopsy systems to clearly and precisely image suspicious tissue and guide a needle to retrieve a sample. This saved patients from having to undergo a surgical incision, in turn reducing pain, scarring and recovery time. Years later, Jenkins benefited from the very same technology when a mammogram revealed something suspicious and she had to have a biopsy herself.
