None of this would be possible without Boris Shraiman's leadership and contributions, as well as the support provided by Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. You're doing a good thing here, thank you!

.. thanks also to the many staff members at the
UCSB KITP who help with all the logistics involved in gathering a group of QBio and program members together and contributing to an excellent experience.

Then they had a drylab bootcamp before joining different drylab projects .. like using pangenome graphs to explore genome structural evolution (no lab pics obvs - picture ppl huddled around laptops ok - or here: forming a human pangraph post-presentation)
