Ion Mobility | Mass Spectrometry Expert @ MOBILion Systems
I spent a lot of time this last week reflecting on all of the things I am grateful for. I live in beautiful southern California. I have a loving supportive network of friends, family, and colleagues. My dog is the sweetest and goofiest best friend. I love my job, my boss, and my team. I get to work in a field where I impact human health and contribute to producing better, safer therapeutics. I have more than I can ask for and I am truly blessed.
Now that you know a little more about me, I would like to learn about you. With all of this bounty, I seek ways to give back to my community and one of those ways is to participate in my local mass spec discussion group. Join me at the LAMMS happy hour event this Wednesday from 5-7 pm at Smog city brewery in Torrance. More information is in the flyer below. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Simple changes make a huge difference, directly and indirectly. ELMINA B SEWALL FOUNDATION we offer alternatives to a report: sending in a report created for another funder, having a conversation with the program lead, answering 3 to 4 open ended questions, or in some instances, attending a convening or small group conversation with other grantee partners where staff capture themes from the conversation. we want to learn about the field, about the organization as a whole, what opportunities and challenges they seez what trends they see and what they're excited about. we also turn the lens on ourselves as we know one of the few things we can actually control is how we impact our partners. We want to learn how to be a good partner and what else we can do to support our partners as we are committed to their success.
When the Kataly Foundation reenvisioned reporting to uplift and unburden grantees, they discovered that their relationships within and outside of the organization were deeply enriched as a result. Danielle Royston-Lopez tells their story in the latest edition of PEAK Grantmaking Journal.
What a beautiful and inspiring report.
There is much to do in support of our nation’s families, especially when one looks at the “given” supports in other industrialized nations, where paid family leave and state-supported childcare are the norm.
AND, ZERO TO THREE is making great strides for infants, babies, toddlers, parents, childcare workers, advocates, and more.
This detailed report shows heart-centered leadership making a huge difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of little ones and their caregivers.
The trauma — and its consequences — prevented by the policy work, advocacy, early interventions, trainings, support of parents, and people working with children and parents, truly cannot be measured.
No doubt the dollars invested here have massive economic returns. AND the stress, pain, worry prevented by this work? That is vitally important as quality of life is improved; as harried parents, with this support, can breathe and enjoy their children.
That kind of support lasts a lifetime in early relational health and the optimal brain development that goes with it, increasing the likelihood of healthier outcomes in physical, mental, and emotional health.
Hope you’ll join me in being uplifted and inspired by reading this stellar report. Too, who doesn’t love all those photos of babies?!?
❤️🦋❤️
I could not be more proud of the role each and every one of ZERO TO THREE employees, donors and supporters have in ensuring every baby has a strong start in life.
Our 2023 Impact Report demonstrates that our commitment to putting babies at the center of everything we do is not just a statement, it's a testament to the profound impact that focused connection can bring.
Please take a few minutes to explore our work, our impact and our vision for the future.
