BREAKING & BIG: Today in PARIS, citizens voted in a referendum to PEDESTRIANIZE 500 MORE of the city's streets, giving fresh momentum to efforts by city leaders to create people-places, curb car usage, and improve air quality. 66% of Parisians voted in favour of the measure, official results showed!

One year ago today, I lost my husband, Larry Young - my best friend, my collaborator, and my source of joy. I am deeply grateful for the 20+ years of memories. I have been lifted by the love and support of my friends and family, & for that, I am forever thankful. With all my love ❤️.

I was that woman! I have frequently told the story of how Jeremy responded after my second NIH rejection. He said, “Whatever you do, don’t stop spending. If you run out of startup, we’ll find more money for you.” I didn’t need it in the end, but knowing he had my back was huge. Thank you!
