Congratulations to Michael Moubarek and Akua Nimarko for receiving the prestigious Goldwater Scholarship.  Michael is a Biochemistry & Molecular Biology major and Akua is a Biological Sciences major and is an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Weihong Lin's lab.

The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship program accepts applications from sophomores and juniors (defined as students who expect to spend one to two more years to complete their undergraduate degrees).  The program is named for former Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, who was committed to encouraging Americans to pursue careers in science and mathematics.  Goldwater Scholars receive 1-2 years of support for college expenses, up to $7,500 per year.

More importantly, they receive a crucial stamp of approval indicating that they have the potential to excel nationally and internationally as scholars, researchers, and professors in their respective fields.  A significant number of Goldwater Scholars later competed successfully for prestigious graduate fellowships and scholarships, such as the Rhodes and Marshall scholarships.

If Netflix has to pay tribute to Comcast, then shouldn’t Comcast pay tribute to cloud storage firms?

Here’s an interesting way to look at the often abstract topic of “net neutrality.” Let’s say you are an online storage vault like Carbonite or Dropbox, which has 200 million users and a $10 billion valuation (see “Hiding All the Complexities of Remote File Storage Behind a Small Blue Box”).
