Congratulations to my 813 Branford roommate and lifelong friend Jim Rothman. Knowing how hard he was already working when we were at Yale, I have some idea of what he invested to achieve this.
Jim is an engaging and thoughtful speaker. If you have a few minutes, check out the video referenced in the article above.
