And to my brilliant and supportive colleagues @doudna-lab.bsky.social who have helped me refine and test my ideas every day in the lab 🙏

With much appreciation for my mentors, Jennifer Doudna and Jennifer Puck, my translational guru @urnov.bsky.social , the tremendous ecosystem at @ucsfchildrens.bsky.social @innovativegenomics.bsky.social and Danaher Corp for supporting our vision of genetic cures for rare diseases.

This grant not only funds a pivotal part of my career, but is external validation that the research that I'm pursuing to develop CRISPR based therapies for children with inherited immune diseases is important and rigorous.

I also live in Oakland and by happenstance, saw an Anna’s hummingbird right before listening and was very perplexed by the shifting magenta colors. Thank you for explaining and your advocacy for understanding our natural world!
