Like many of you, I’m spending today thinking about my mother. She was all of 5 feet, but she could move mountains, as she proved when she crossed an ocean at age 19 to study here.pic.twitter.com/NtPAEpeQs1

She and my father met while they were active in the civil rights movement. My sister Maya and I actually joke that we grew up surrounded by a bunch of adults marching and shouting for this thing called justice. We were raised on stories of the upheaval and activism of the 1960s.

My mother became a pioneering breast cancer researcher. She maintained her lab at Lawrence Berkeley until the day she died; she knew that the search for truth was a lifelong effort.

From her, I learned to ask questions, gather evidence, and test hypotheses. I learned that no idea is too precious to be rigorously examined. I learned how to fight for justice and live a life of conscience, and I think of her every day.

Thank you for sharing this about your Mother. She sounds a remarkable woman. You were very lucky. I’m lucky too. My son (21) hugs me everyday and has spent a lot of time with me today.
