Instagram — @terzelron

25 posts and reels pulled from his Instagram. "Post 06" had a corrupted link on the way over and may be missing its last character — worth a quick check. Click through to each — thumbnails aren't shown since Instagram doesn't allow pulling preview images without a login.

No verified tags found on Cytiva or Genentech platforms, and no distinct Vanity Fair archive page turned up in this pass. If direct links exist, send them and this list gets updated.
