David has also studied other macromolecular complexes—tiny “machines” that keep us alive—and helped improve 3DEM techniques. Currently, he directs the Electron Microscopy Core Laboratory at the University of Utah, where he helps clinicians and researchers use the electron microscope. David has also published in the area of science and religion. He enjoys gardening, playing sports, cycling, running, reading, and almost anything outdoors.
