Meri mentored me at the University of Minnesota. She is the reason I want to be scientist and she helped me realize my true potential as a researcher. I admire Meri and her contributions to science and to my career. I hope to be as strong and independent like she was. Meri was outspoken, fearless, and confident. We shared our love for dogs, stem cells, and hosting parties. I will cherish her memory forever.

The science superhero image of Meri was created for this event. It was a live event that was recorded for the podcast Science Friday. Here is the link-you can listen to Meri do two of the things she loved the most: teach and talk about science. https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/the-cellular-superpowers-that-heal-skin-and-regrow-limbs/

Thank you to everyone who participated in Meri's memorial on Friday. When the recording is posted, I hope anyone who couldn't "attend" is able to watch. It was wonderful to hear and see people from all areas of Meri's life together, sharing their love and admiration for our sorely missed sister, daughter, aunt, cousin, niece, friend, and colleague-a "scientific badass".

It was a pleasure working with Meri at Memphis Meats (now Upside Foods). I will remember Meri for her stories, her wit and brilliant sarcasm, for her love of family and the pride she exuded when talking about her nieces and nephews, and of course her love for Ivan. I'll also remember her unwavering courage in voicing difficult messages, and the way she always held space to celebrate and recognize the accomplishments of her team. She was generous and creative. We all enjoyed her cooking and baking, and of course her jams.
