@Caltech_LHC @APSphysics @Fermilab @CMSExperiment @CERN Congratulations Christina!

CONGRATULATIONS 👏🏽 @APSphysics @caltech @Fermilab @CMSExperiment @CERN

@UCLAchancellor Thank you for joining us!

This week, I had the pleasure of participating in @Caltech's Presidential Distinguished Speaker Series and reflected on the role of universities in expanding opportunity and serving the public good. Grateful to President Thomas Rosenbaum for the kind invitation.

Exhaled breath can provide a treasure trove of health information, offering a noninvasive window to both respiratory microenvironments and systemic physiological states. But collecting such data is a challenge. caltech.edu/about/news/ext…

@AnimaAnandkumar We’re so proud of the work you do!
