It's Leading Edge Fellow day!!! This day fills me with joy and inspiration. This cohort holds a special place in my heart because it is named for Zara Weinberg, a beloved Leading Edge Fellow who was a visionary scientist and fierce advocate for building a better scientific ecosystem

So incredibly honored and excited to be a part of leading edge! Joining the ranks of all these incredible scientists has me truly humbled. To be part of Zara’s cohort when she was so instrumental to me in my first few years at UCSF makes me feel all the things.
