Documented path
Roles, founding, launches and departures in date order. A snapshot is one dated report, not a tenure. An interval keeps only the start and end its source states, and a missing end is unknown. One row following another does not mean one role led to the next.

What this record cannot tell you
5 records report a role or state at a single date. A snapshot establishes neither when the role began nor when it ended.

3 records cite a source whose publication date is unknown, so when the account was written cannot be established.

No end date or departure announcement is recorded for Institute for Protein Design, University of Washington, University of Washington, Protein Structure Prediction Center (CASP), Howard Hughes Medical Institute. That is a coverage gap: it does not mean the person remained.

Nothing here records why a person moved, or that one role led to another. Authorship and a printed affiliation do not show employment. A record that has not been collected is missing, and its absence disproves nothing.
