Was a treat to host you at UBC @ardemp. I had a lot of fun showing you around - and showing you off! Super proud science sister!

I had a great time in Vancouver during my recent seminar at @UBC. One of the highlights was catching up with @ShernazBamji. We were both postdocs in Lou Reichardt’s lab. It’s always special to reconnect with people you trained with.
