Feb. 4th, 2013 01:37 pmSad to see that my mentor and former boss, David Cox, passed away unexpectedly:

David selected me for both my former position at Perlegen, and my current position at Envoy. More than any single person, it was his belief in my talent that got me where I am today. He was also a superstar in the genetics world, and ranks among the most influential scientists of the 20th century.
This really breaks my heart. He was such a great leader, and did so much for me both personally and professionally, I hardly know where to begin.
