Craig Manbauman

Craig’s experience as a former military medic, tending to both the visible and the invisible wounds of war, brought to his attention the necessity that traditional medical interventions be supplemented with the healing mechanisms endowed by culture, community, and the arts. For Craig, healing has thus taken on a more holistic model that integrates his social science education and his nursing background to center on communal listening and the holding of space for the breadth of human expression. His poetry is grounded in this work.

Elizabeth H. Blackburn, PhD

Nobel Laureate

Professor Emerita, Biochemistry and Biophysics

Throughout her long career in science, Dr. Blackburn has been a leader in the area of telomere and telomerase research, having discovered the molecular nature of telomeres – the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes that serve as protective caps essential for preserving the genetic information – and co-discovered the ribonucleoprotein enzyme, telomerase. She is also known for her championing of diversity and inclusion in the sciences. Currently, Dr. Blackburn and her UCSF research team continue their work with various cells (including human cells), with the goal of understanding telomerase and telomere biology.
