As a medical student, I've spent countless hours in the hospital... But it turns out that nothing prepares you for your mom getting rolled back to the OR. Grateful for the entire team Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for working to cure her cancer today.

I feel so lucky to get to work with the best UCLA CORE Lab team to ask big questions with real impact, and answer them through data. But the greatest honor is to have other researchers find value in your work, too. Thank you for the first 100 🎉
