m2bord's Journal: My brother in law has been published

My sister, you gotta love her, married a young man she met at MIT. Both are uber-geeky, both are somewhat reserved, and both have the same birthday. One thing this gentleman is not...a slouch.

On a side note, I was myself just at a conference where I met several of the other biologists at Whitehead (MIT/Broad Institute). They have quite a group of people working there, doing some excellent work. You should be proud for your broth
