Today I received a service award from Northwestern University Information Technology for working here for more than five years. Five years?! Can you believe it?! I feel like I just got here.

Thanks to everyone who supported my team and me for the Chicago Liver Wellness 5K Walk and Fun Run. We raised over $3,000 and came in second place for top fundraiser. In total, the walk raised $111,134 for liver research to help those suffering from liver disease, like my cousin Jeff. Thanks! I liver you!

That’s right, it’s your last chance to support my team and me for the 5K Liver Wellness Walk & Fun Run! We will walk for my cousin Jeff and others who suffer from liver disease this Saturday at 9 am at Montrose Harbor. Any little bit helps! You can donate any amount you like.

I will be presenting iVOTE! at the Project Citizen Coordinator’s Conference in San Francisco, on October 7th and 8th. Can’t make it to San Fran? You can see the presentation slideshow here.

An announcement went out from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) that they are planning to use the Collaboratory this summer for a student pulsar research project.



The story made it to the other side of the world and was picked up by a few publications in India!
