I’d Like To Thank The Academy…

I was in the Stan­ford Book­store today when I hap­pened to see a book called Stan­ford Spir­it. I noticed it was a com­pi­la­tion of essays by cur­rent Stan­ford stu­dents, so I picked it up to see if any were by peo­ple I knew — and one of our Chi Alphans has a con­tri­bu­tion!

You can down­load a dig­i­tal copy for free at

In addi­tion, Lisa Ooi just had her debut pub­li­ca­tion in Cell (yes, THAT Cell) with the stir­ring “A Rapid, Reversible, and Tun­able Method to Reg­u­late Pro­tein Func­tion in Liv­ing Cells Using Syn­thet­ic Small Mol­e­cules”

Con­grat­u­la­tions to them both.
