While not official yet -- we are still awaiting approval from the dean, so please don't circulate this email -- might you have any names EFTA_R1_00407028 EFTA01945214 that you might privately recommend that we consider, giving us a heads up so to speak about any all-star candidates that might be emerging from your lab (and perhaps a sentence or two about what they're up to)? Much appreciated! Best, Ed Ed Boyden, Ph. D.
