Dear Masih,

Wishing you a wonderful birthday! You are the leader of our clinical research team and a partner to Sepehr. But when Sepehr leaves, you are the leader of both! Lol. No pressure. haha. Thank you for always being such a wonderful leader and mentor to our amazing lab members and a brother and friend to me. Happy birthday to you! :-)

Happy Birthday, Masih!

I wish you a wonderful year ahead filled with good health, happiness, and special moments with your family.

I honestly can’t put into words how grateful I am to have shared the lab with you. Your kindness, support, and willingness to help—no matter what—have meant the world to me. Whenever I felt lost or overwhelmed in the lab, you were always there. Even if you didn’t have the answer, just knowing someone like you was by my side gave me comfort and strength.

We’ve been through so many ups and downs together these past couple of years—late nights, tight deadlines, and everything in between. You've done so much to support the lab and all of us in it, and I’ll never forget that.

Even though I might not be continuing this journey with you in person, I’ll still be working remotely for the next few years, so it won’t feel like we’re too far apart. And every time I’m back in OC, let’s make sure to meet up—I don’t want to miss you too much!

Wishing you the happiest birthday, Masih. You truly deserve it. Sepehr!!
