It’s been a year. I saw COVID19 close-up, and came out well in the end. When I thought 2020 was over, it threw one last curve ball. My sister got ill and spent several days on a non-rebreather. Came out in time for Xmas eve dinner. My heart goes out to those who did not make it.

Mysteriously, sometimes, in the life of a clinical researcher, a miracle happens when you work day after day, year after year, and finally, the stars align and the results of a study you helped run leads to an FDA approval. Today, I was very lucky.
