My boss has been in DC a lot longer than I have - and deep inside. He has taught me a lot about how DC works. (I hope I've taught him some things about academia.). Here's what he posted on LinkedIn with our News story.

Happy about John Hopfield. He helped me with my grad school research proposal, and I made it into the acknowledgements of the paper. Was in my favorite journal.
