Story of a 66-year-old researcher, an immigrant, who rarely got grants, never got her own lab, never earned more than $60K. For four decades, she kept working on mRNA—a path considered foolish. Her work is the basis for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. nytimes.com/2021/04/08/healt…

Long Overlooked, Kati Kariko Helped Shield the World From the Coronavirus (Published 2021)

Collaborating with devoted colleagues, Dr. Kariko laid the groundwork for the mRNA vaccines turning the tide of the pandemic.

Van, thank you for expressing the sorrow and relief that we all feel. My hope is that those who hoped for a different outcome will take a moment to empathize with the pain so many of us have felt over the past four years.

The meeting at the White House makes it absolutely clear that not only must Congress pass legislation now to protect Dreamers, paired with increased sensible border security, but that Pres Trump would support this deal. The time is in the next 10 days. Let’s do this right now xitter.cf/FWD_us/status/95082382…

When I was little, I dreamed of my mom's homemade cinnamon bread on Christmas morning... and beating my brothers in ice hockey. This holiday season, many #DACA recipients are dreaming of staying with their families. #DreamForTheHolidays
