Hi! I started a foundation called the REFACE Foundation! Our mission is to fund research on the stuff I care about: regenerative technologies and improving outcomes after facial reconstructive surgery for our trans and gender diverse community and kids born with craniofacial differences. I believe in science and medicine. And I know that there are more people with me than not. Check out www.refacefoundation.org Happy New Year!

Some personal news. Before the pandemic, i was nominated for a cool award. And then the pandemic hit, 5 years fly by, and I frankly forgot about it. This week, I found out that I have been awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers!

Thank you for this incredible honor. I will treasure this forever. Thank you for giving me my first grant and the nomination and for supporting all of our subsequent work through the years.

Regeneration will be a reality in our lifetimes.
