Gavin is a very independent senior postdoc who is prolific in exploring and publishing his exciting ideas. I want to extend my thanks for the key role he plays in my team. He is leading many studies of protoplanetary disk evolution in different environments, and without him we would not have been able to lead the world in understanding how this affects the resulting planets. I look forward to working on many more things together.
