Paging Dr. Altman

Just thought I would let you guys compare these students medical students and decide which one doesn't seem to fit with the others:

Dr. Wu - I started my undergraduate experience at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as a Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics major (MIMG). Interest in racial and social justice studies influenced my decision to study Asian American Studies as a minor. During my undergraduate experience I tutored and mentored youth throughout Los Angeles and got involved with student and community organizing. Most recently, I spent a year organizing youth in the Chinatown of Los Angeles. After graduating in the Fall of 2004, I continued to work in the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Research Center up until leaving for New York. The last project I worked on dealt with the role of metabolic enzymes in Calpain3 deficient mice. More personally, I am a big geek at heart, I like to mess around with computers and other electronics.

Dr. Goldstein - Hey everyone, my name is Alan. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, not too far from the fabled "Cyclone" in Coney Island. I graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 2002, and continued on to Cornell University. While at Cornell, I spent two years researching parrot vocalizations at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. I also spent two summers in NYC researching the merits of allotransplantation of adipose tissue to treat leptin-deficiency in genetically obese mice. I graduated in 2006 with a BS in biology. In my spare time, I enjoy playing basketball, fishing, birdwatching, and running.
Dr. Wong - I was born in Manhattan and raised in Woodside, Queens. Afetr growing up in the city, I really enjoyed going to the University of Michigan because of the change of pace and its college town feel. I graduated with a B.S. in Biopsychology and Cognitive Science in 2005. After graduating, I decided to take a year off to work closely with patients at Bellevue Hospital since I extremely enjoyed working there previously for the last seven summers. In my free moments, I love to play sports, particularly tennis and ice skating, and am an avid follower of college football (especially Michigan). Another passion of mine is partaking in community service activities. I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Dr Altman - Hi... I'm Sam. Here's a brief history: Born and raised right here in LI, I went to college in Philly and started The Disco Biscuits, the band that would consume the next ten years of my life. After all that time on the road, I finally had enough of the rock & roll lifestyle, and so I moved back to New York and did two years of post-bac work at SB. This has truly been a long, strange trip. I'm also a Gemini, and enjoy exercise, punk rock, and a stiff drink.

If they only knew...
