Nobel Adjacent...

5 December 2017: "Blows me away every time..." --my friend Jeff, who gave a presentation today on this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology. This quotation is him reflecting on some work he did with one of the scientists who won the big prize, adding "normal" genes back to flies and seeing the next generation go back to normal. (More complicated than I am making it seem here, I promise!) What I loved about this moment was how he paused a bit before he said it and his voice caught a bit when he did. I am grateful every time I get to see my friends in the sciences talk about their work, especially when their delight and awe shines through.
