title: Lily and Yuh Nung Jan.
abstract: Lily and Yuh Nung Jan's collaboration started with the identification of Shaker as the first known potassium channel gene and has flourished to produce over 100 former students and postdocs who are now leading their own research groups. In an interview with Neuron, they reflect on their scientific discoveries, serendipity in science, and the value of curiosity-driven basic research.
