I gotta do it people. I’ve just got to brag about my cool brother. Not only does he put us all to shame in “jowler pics” but! The most amazing brother of all time finally gets his Ph.D today!! It’s been a long road, but he did it! And the world is lucky to have such a damn genius biochemist. I can’t even try to explain what he does. I found some of his research online to see if that would help describe it. Well… hmmm, “utilized genetic, biochemical, and biophysical techniques to study the inhibition of HIV entry by D-peptides and the evolutionary response of HIV to inhibition. Employed in vitro display technologies for the development of D-peptide therapeutics against emerging infectious diseases. Extended the use chemical peptide synthesis/ligation techniques to the assembly of large (>300 residue) mirror-image proteins for synthetic biology, chemical biology, and drug discovery applications.”

Yeah… it’s beyond me, but basically, he’s been working towards biochemical solutions to stop Ebola and HIV. See here for a slightly more intelligible description: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/08/100818141553.htm

Congrats Dr. Weinstock! Can’t wait ‘til your win your Nobel. Love, your little sis.
