Human geneticist turned data scientist in Seattle. Supporting clinicians at a large hospital. Human first. Kindness, standing up for people, sailing, climbing mountains, making a ruckus when necessary. Enduring optimist often tested to the limit.

26.02.2026 19:41 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0So true. My advisor was sued by one of my coworkers the year after I left. She won but they paid out like 60k and nothing happened to him. Like someone else was saying here, we all have a mental list of who they are. Iβve been waiting two decades for this particular story to break.
