What you’ve heard is true. The fledgling Flinn Scholars YouTube channel is up.
The mission is grand (creepy?): We’ll document the lives of every last Scholar, from birth to death.
No, not really. But it’s going to be big!
To get things rolling, we’ve scoured The Internets and collected a few videos that were already out there, of [...]

On the wedding beat
Posted in 1993, 1994, 1997, Joe Holmgren, Law, Mary Fan, Phil Hawkins, Yale on July 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Usually, because of our curmudgeonly nature, we ignore all mentions of weddings, babies, puppies, sailboats, and Magic Shell ice-cream topping.
For example, back when Joe Holmgren (‘93) tied the knot, we spoke not a word. And last summer, when Phil Hawkins (‘94) went to a park in Dallas on a Saturday afternoon and had a single [...]
Fast track

We first bumped into a certain Janet Napolitano way back in the spring of 1993, a few months before she became the U.S. Attorney for Arizona; at the time, she was still punching the clock as a lawyer for Lewis and Roca.
And on the very same day that we caught a glimpse of the future [...]

Ha! You thought this was a math post…
Learned Hand, our buddies in law school are fond of reminding us, came up with the calculus of negligence, presented in shorthand above, and otherwise managed to influence the practice of law about as much as anyone in the nation’s history other than a few Supreme Court Justices. [...]

Six months to go until the world premiere of Lost Canyon II, and everywhere we turn, people are already getting revved up for the talent show. We just saw three hacky sack prodigies doing calisthenics out on the quad.
Regarding the talent show: The eight-member Rules Committee has just issued a press release that reiterates a [...]

Anna Thanukos (‘93) has a newish article in the new journal Evolution: Education and Outreach, where she dishes on “host-switching,” a frightening term we didn’t know; it sounds like part of the Wikipedia entry on zombie movies. Not so, of course: host-switching is how HIV and SARS evolved from bothering chimps and bats to bothering [...]
We want to join the army and catch a case of the bird flu
Posted in 1993, Christy (Buck) Oberg, Medicine, Tucson on October 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Not that anybody in the hospital is ever lucky, exactly… it nevertheless sounds like Christy (Buck) Oberg’s (‘93) patients at the VA in Tucson are in really good hands:
I did my residency in internal medicine and then did a chief resident year. Since then, I’ve been working full time at the VA hospital here. [...]

Wm. Shakespeare said that.
Todd Murphey (‘93) said this:
This video is a (somewhat biased) comparison between simulations created with a variational integrator (left) and a continuous ODE (right). The variational integrator is a Mathematica implemenation that ran in about 10 minutes with a 0.01 second stepsize. The continuous system used a C implementation that ran in [...]
