You guys are making me blush! Many thanks to all of you for the congratulations, and a special thank you to those who had a hand in nominating me. We are all working towards the same goal and it’s been exciting to help turn questions into data that we can use make a significant, positive impact in this field of vaccine storage. And let’s not forget all the hard work put in by each of our chairs, committee members and our endlessly-patient secretariat. Each of you plays a unique and integral role on the VS JC team!

As others have said, this is WELL deserved. I’m not sure where our group would be right now without your insightful thinking and amazing data contributions. The award description of someone who has demonstrated “vision, leadership, dedication and significant contributions” sounds like it was written specifically with you in mind, as it describes you perfectly. Congratulations!
