Back now from the #KIR2024 workshop @StanleyHotelCO and still blown away by all the great science. Super proud of my lab members who presented, they all killed it (natural killered it, you might say 😬). Huge congrats to @PN0rmski for putting together an amazing meeting 🎉

@greg_travis @BenK_Data Sure, the greatest global vaccination effort since polio, big nothing. Nevermind that the data show clearly how amazingly effective this singularly important tool has been. All nothing, nada.

Peaceful protest-- YES. Violence, looting, non-Oaklanders trashing our wonderful community--NO! Stay safe out there. #Oakland #Ferguson

@aliranger29 My daughter will turn 16 in a couple of days. We've done two open and one closed heart surgery- so far. We passed $1M long time ago.

@anne_theriault When my daughter (now 19) was three and just home recovering from her second open heart surgery, a friend gave us Totoro among a stack of movies (VCR!). It struck a chord in her fragile little heart, and she watched it multiple times a day for weeks.
