My Friends Are So Smart
I wound up on my college buddy Jen’s professional web page the other night, and read the following inferiority-complex-inducing blurb:
I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Arizona in the Soil, Water, and Environmental Science department working under Raina Maier. I am researching in situ production of biosurfactants, and specifically, their effect on the mobilization of metals in soil.
I have a M.S. in physics from Michigan State University, where I worked at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory under Gary Westfall. While there I constructed fiber-optic cables for the Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC (STAR).
Pardon me while I put on my dunce cap and go drool in the corner for a little while.
