Dear readers, I am back! I have neglected this blog dreadfully. I think what ended up happening is that we had our June celebration for our superb HumBio seniors and then I dissolved into a heap. And then time kept going by and you know that feeling where more and more time is passing andContinue reading “Back on the wagon”

Hello All – this blog post is just one more way to make sure you all have the link to our Human Biology June Celebration to give a shout out to our graduating seniors. Graduating from Stanford – what a terrific accomplishment! We are all so proud of you, seniors! Here is the link. LookingContinue reading “HumBio Seniors Are Awesome!!”

Awesome Human Biology students! You did it! Made it through this entirely new territory of classes via remote learning at Stanford. Well done. The family and I biked around Stanford to gather pictures in the sunshine to send to you all. Wishing you all a wonderful summer. Sophomores and juniors, looking forward to seeing youContinue reading “Spring quarter classes done!”

Hold it, wasn’t Easter like…3 weeks ago?  Easter was actually on April 12 (I just looked it up) but I’ll be honest; this year, it snuck up and caught us completely unaware.  In our house, however, disregarding Easter was not popular. For the kids, it was unacceptable to miss out on an opportunity to stockContinue reading “Easter egg hunt!”

It was so sad this week to learn of the news of Donald Kennedy’s death on April 21, 2020. In addition to making key contributions to science, to Stanford, and to the nation, Don was one of the founders and early Directors of the Human Biology Program. I wrote to alumni on Friday to share theContinue reading “Remembering Don Kennedy”

Good morning, all! My daughter and I biked to campus yesterday to take pictures to give you some more glimpses of your beautiful university. It is really missing its students! As are we.

Coming in just under the wire to ensure an at least weekly blog. Not sure if you’ve found this, but my, how the bar has been lowered lately. Anyway, to start us off, our roses are about to bloom! Now lest one get any grandiose notions, our roses look fantabulous for about 2 weeks andContinue reading “The Homefront”

Hello All! We made it to the end of the first week of Stanford’s spring quarter and what that means in this house, for some reason, is that everyone collapsed onto a heap on the couch, waiting for our Doordash delivery. For our kids, this past week was spring break. Not clear it was markedContinue reading “Spring quarter, end of week 1”
