We’re starting to understand why the Phoenix Mars Mission was only scheduled for three months of digging holes and making sand castles on the Red Planet. Now in their fifth month of mind-bending 24.66-hour days, even the most sedate scientists have gone loopy.
Here’s the latest list of names they’ve given pebbles and other random things:

Right there in the middle of this picture is our very own Joanna Yang (‘08), with Gov. Janet Napolitano and Melisa Tarango of the Governor’s Office of Children, Youth, and Families.
Why is she holding a fancy certificate, and why does she look so happy? We think it’s because Joanna was one of two Arizonans picked [...]

After Shruti finished the trip to Hungary and Romania with her Scholars class, she went to New York for an internship at the museum of the [...]

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 [...]

And here comes some more coverage of the 23rd class of Scholars:
The Tucson Citizen offered a profile of Jason Xu (‘08) and another of David Ware (‘08) as part of the paper’s coverage of this spring’s area graduates. They also ran a story on all four new Scholars from the Tucson area–Jason, David, Alice Cai [...]

Your choice. Go to the Metallica concert and walk around all day tomorrow with your ears ringing. Or put these YouTubes on repeat and start referring to yourself as Dr. Chillaxing.
You might think it’s the super-powered reincarnation of Brad Ford (‘92). His fans know him as Mitch Turbenson (‘08):

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.
The first 2008 Scholar to draw the attention of the Fourth Estate appears to be Payson High School’s own Mark McCarty, featured in this profile in the Payson Roundup.
Mark, who won a 3A state wrestling title this winter, looks like the closest thing the Scholars program has seen to [...]
