My experience with the Bay Area chapter – and the Foundation overall – has been deeply rewarding. Not only does my role keep me connected to exciting research and advancements, it also allows me to work with a team of passionate, dedicated individuals who strive for our shared mission and who I have come to proudly call friends.
