title: Winged migration.
abstract: It is an honor to become a part of the talented group of cell biologists who have received this award before me. While running a research group certainly has its ups and downs, I love being a faculty member and am continuously excited by the prospect of scientific discoveries yet to be made. I have benefited from the support of many people over the years and hope to be able to do the same for others through my mentoring and teaching.
