Congratulations Seniors
It’s been a long while since I posted, so I figured it’s appropriate to resume this blog by congratulating all the seniors at Reed who have labored over their theses throughout the year. Now, they will ceremoniously burn all their drafts this afternoon at the bonfire. Happy Renn Fayre!

Monty the Motivation Whale has completed his duties. He has also become three-dimensional. Happy Renn Fayre!

This is the last week of classes. Reed seniors are finalizing their theses — a culmination of their year-long projects — before sending them off to faculty readers. As we near the end, my computational biology lab has a new round of students working night and day. Don’t worry, though – Monty the Motivation Whale is there for you.
Monty’s appearance might be due to the fact that one of the Reed seniors is a lead scientist at the Orca Behavior Institute, a non-profit he started in 2015.

Portland is known for being a rainy city, and this winter was no exception. Last week had the first truly sunny and warm day, hinting at spring’s arrival.
Today I hung out in my computer lab as dozens of high school students toured the Physics, Chemistry, and Biology Departments during the Junior Visit Day. As I readied the lab for the rounds of visitors, I noticed a new drawing on the whiteboard.
I could not agree more.
