Thanks to Alex for hosting me on Bio-techne's Back of the Napkin Podcast. We discuss my science, life as a scientist, what it's like to be a TED speaker, and how strong feelings of anger won me an NIH New Innovator Award. Hope it can be helpful if anyone needs some inspiration.

Yay! There are more people here. Hello and good morning, and here is a picture of my cat camping.

I’m always surprised by how much I ❤️ fried pickles.

My partner thinks I’m missing the boat by coming here instead of Threads. I have no clue other than this isn’t Meta.
