 She is my boss, but when we work together since the first day, I never really think she is the boss. She is my friend and she is my coworker. We respect each other and we listen to each other. We are on the same page all the time, always on the same wavelength. Yeah, it was surreal because I was working on one of our next papers that we were trying to submit and I saw that they had the live stream going in just a few minutes. So I thought, okay, I've never seen a live stream of a Nobel Prize before. So I figured I'd take a look at it and as soon as they started saying the prize goes to rewriting the code of life, I freaked out. I woke up everybody in my house. I was super excited. Yeah, and then I emailed Jennifer and said congrats. I started tweeting. It was very exciting for everybody in the lab. Jennifer is very kind and very considerate of her students so you wouldn't expect that from somebody of her stature or someone who's that busy to make time for you to talk to you about your project and your concerns and really help you develop in your career. You know, Jennifer's lab is one of the most well-known labs on campus in the biology department and the chemistry department. And you know, like coming in as an undergrad, I also did my undergrad here. You hear about her and she's like a legend and she teaches Bio1A but you often don't get to like interact with her and I thought it was really just amazing as a technician I actually got to work with her. I was kind of thinking from the moment that Martin Genek was in Jennifer's office and they were drawing out this single guide RNA and she showed me that and I was like, oh, this is going to be huge. I kind of knew it. And of course it's been even bigger than I could have imagined and just to see how people are, how it's being adopted and there's so many variations on the theme, it's just been really amazing to see what people have been able to do with it. I'm so proud of her. Secretly I've been kind of expecting it to happen and I'm just so happy that I didn't even expect it. Like I didn't even realize that the Nobel's being announced this morning. So it was such a great surprise to be woken up at 4 a.m. with the news and I'm so proud of her. I can look back to sitting around on picnic benches at Driver's Ed in high school and talking about our futures and fast forward to all of your accomplishments. I just cannot tell you how proud I am to be your friend. You were visiting us and we were at the dining room table, your family and our four kids sharing what you had done with Emmanuel Charpentier and your discovery. Of course you had to explain it to me more than 10 times, maybe 15 before I could get it. I knew that this was Nobel quality work and I knew, I just knew, I don't know if you recall my calling it, but I said, Jennifer, this is Nobel. This is Nobel stuff. I just know it.
