<p>An interesting list:</p>

<p>the “brilliant ten” are actually eleven…two each from Cornell and Stanford; one each from Harvard, Yale, MIT, Wisconsin, Washington, Princeton, Johns Hopkins Med School–the usual suspects…</p>

<p>Dr. Yoky Matsuoka, has been with UWud for 1 year. Previously she was associated with CMU as assistant prof (5 years). Nice lady. We owe her for our son’s success since she was his mentor/advisor at CMU and commendator.</p>

<p>Helen Blackwell, Undergraduate: Chemistry with Highest Honors- Oberlin.</p>

<p>A little more about Helen

</p>

<p>Yes, but where did she go to work?? Big research U.</p>

<p>curmudgeon, do you happen to know where the rest went to school for undergraduate degrees? (I know, I’m being lazy; I glanced through the paper copy in my kitchen but I don’t see mention of their undergrad institutions.)</p>

<p>midmo, I thought I remembered something about Blackwell so I “googled” her. I didn’t google the rest. I just wanted to make the point that students are inspired to great things at places other than the “usual suspects”. ;)</p>
