A lot of molecular and cell and developmental biology is concerned with figuring out the "functions" of various proteins. I'm starting to distrust that formulation...

And an outstanding mentor!
Many of us would be thrilled to be a caring clinician, a great scientist, a popular division head, or aspire to be president of a leading academic organization. Imagine being all of those and also being one of the nicest humans to walk the earth. Happy 70th birthday Al Powers!
