Excited and honored to officially be @NIH @NIGMS funded via an #R35 MIRA Award. This will provide $1.9 mil to our lab over the next 5 years. Special thanks to my students for generating many exciting ideas for this grant and beyond and supportive colleagues @AuburnU.

GRADUATE ADMISSIONS: I have been involved in Grad Adm. at both Caltech and HARVARD over 40-yr period. As they say,”I’ve seen it all.” Here are some examples of “admission rejects” from Harvard: Eric Jacobson (my dear colleague), Dean Toste (currently a Berkeley prof). More below!
