Teaching
Teaching the next generation of leaders is an important mission of UC Davis and the NPB Department.
Our mitochondria never ask for applause; they just keep making the energy that becomes your work, your laughter, your next step forward. Real strength almost always moves like that: constant, invisible, and uninterested in credit. Aldrin V. Gomes
