<LI>Aryaman Shalizi [My younger brother. He's much smarter than I am;
also more sociable, and better looking. His complexion is dark enough that he
sometimes got hassled for not joining La Raza or going to meetings of
"Students of Color." My complexion is light enough that I would be more than
hassled if I tried. (In high school, he was sometimes called "Cosma's ethnic
brother"; likewise, I was "Ary's white brother." Don't call him Ary.) He
did his undergraduate degree in neuroscience at <a
href="http://www.oberlin.edu/">Oberlin College</a>, where he played in the <A
HREF="http://www.oberlin.edu/~cconsort/">Can Consortium</A>. Since then he's
been at the <a href="http://www.nih.gov/">National Institutes of Health</a>,
where he worked on transgenic mice with most of the HIV genome spliced in and
tumor-suppressor genes for (of all things) the <a
href="http://www.nidcr.nih.gov/">National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial
Research</a>. He discovered the joys of graduate school through the <a
href="http://www.hms.harvard.edu/dms/bbs/">Biological and Biomedical Sciences
Program</a> at <a href="http://www.harvard.edu/">Harvard</a>, where he
"put the LABOR in laboratory." Now he does <em>fascinating</em> things to
proteins at <a href="http://crablab.stanford.edu/Labmembers.htm">Stanford</a>.]
