June 5 is "65 Roses" day. In 1965, Mary Weiss was raising funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Her 4-year-old son, Richard overheard her on the phone, and said, "I know what you are doing." Mary's heart sank. Richard didn't know he and his brothers had CF. "You are raising money for 65 roses!" he announced.
60 years later, I'm raising money to help another 4 year old. My grandaughter.

Want to know about transgenic mice?
The efficacy of Trikafta, which doubled Violet's life expectancy, is tested in "humanized F508del-CFTR in mouse intestines."
Bullshit kills.
I realized my Mastodon tooth pic was not an #introduction.
I am a retired community college teacher. I had started at a community college myself when I was 32, after 16 years in construction. On my way to becoming a research methodologist, I discovered I loved teaching. It was a good choice. Instead of having a small room full of colleagues who temporarily find my work useful, I've had thousands of students who have been able to use me to help them build their lives.
Oh. And I have a tooth.

mRNA shows (showed?) potential for a treatment of Cystic Fibrosis that does not affect a personβs DNA or CFTR mutations. Unlike gene editing or integrating gene therapy, there is no risk of disrupting a person's genome.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation does not rely on government funding, but most research partners do.
