As it turns out, 2020 really is all about hindsight.

It's humbling to be a part of this amazing team's work, untangling the mechanisms of how certain microbes protect against IBD, as we start to understand what happens when that goes wrong (and how to prevent it).

We are just one part of a big team, building a national to detect disease outbreaks before they happen.
