Wow! I feel greatly honoured to be among TIME's 100 Most Influential People of 2025. I'm eternally grateful to my mentors, collaborators, funders, colleagues, students & team who made the grind through genomics & global health worthwhile. You made this happen. Congratulations🎉

I want to tell you a story about computers, creativity and awe! (1/N)🧵 Sydney Brenner once said in 2012 that “nobody has actually read the human genome. I mean, computers have processed the human genome, but we all know computers are stupid.” (This is a talk I gave last week..)
