Had the most wonderful visit at SCRI. The labs, science, and trainees are simply amazing. Special thanks to @myron_evansPhD and @CterminiPhD for an incredible exchange of ideas. You both are cornerstones of the exceptional scientific community in Seattle.
Fully rejuvenated after a lovely dinner with @myron_evansPhD and our visitor @Dr_Kevin_Pruitt after his incredible seminar at SCRI 🤯 … I can’t even begin to describe the wisdom he shared with us, but I’m feeling so inspired today. Thank you for your advice and honesty!
