Hey Twitter/X, I don't post here often, but I want to share an impactful life event: after almost 15 years at the Broad Institute, I'm so delighted to share that today, I'm starting a new position as Director of Alliance Management at Tempus Labs! @TempusAI

One of the biggest cultural shifts in life science PhD programs over the past decade - industry directly replacing academic jobs for graduates

I have been so fortunate to spend so much of my career at the Broad, and I'm immensely grateful for the amazing friends and colleagues I've had the privilege to work with through grad school, postdoc, GA4GH, ICDA, DSP, and beyond.
I'm beyond excited to bring that experience to a new role dedicated to improving patient outcomes at Tempus! #newjob #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

“It took me a relatively short time in Haiti to discover that I could never serve as a dispassionate reporter or chronicler of misery. I am only on the side of the destitute sick and have never sought to represent myself as some sort of neutral party.” Dr Paul Farmer. 1959-2022

I left them with this: People who oppose today what he stood for back then do not get to be the arbiters of his legacy. The real Dr. King cannot be commodified, homogenized, and white-washed and whatever side you stand on TODAY is the side you would have been back then.

I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"
