How has being a member of the Collegium benefited your career?

The Collegium has been a fantastic organization to meet other scientists from around the world and exchange ideas.

What are your hobbies or what do you spend the most of your free time doing?

Outside of medicine and science, I spend most of my time coaching and organizing kids sports.  This activity has surprising similarities to science, which is of course best played as a team sport!
