Five years ago Sam Dubal ascended - into the arms of the Mother Mountain. So blessed to have been the sister of this surgeon-anthropologist with a gentle heart and fierce mind. He was shifting paradigms toward a better world - with that unassuming smile.

We celebrated with chocolate, stories and tacos! Congrats Samira @jusabdulsam.bsky.social on starting the next chapter of your scientific journey as you set up your own lab at @templeuniversity.bsky.social @ucsfhealth.bsky.social @simonsfoundation.org

With gratitude for the Pignolo Prize in Aging Research from UPENN @upenn.bsky.social . Thanks David Wok, Edward Lee, John Pignolo, Virginia Lee - and others. Wonderful occasion!
