King of the Nerds

posted by on June 3 at 9:58 AM

Did you know The Stranger has a science column? It’s called King of the Nerds and it’s online every week. Columnist Jonathan Golob describes himself as “a liberal, agnostic, Jewish, pro-homo human embryonic-stem-cell researcher, with two engineering degrees (biomedical engineering and computer science) and on my way to both an MD and PhD.”
His current column explains the challenges that have hampered HIV-vaccine efforts.

Yes, a big welcome to The Stranger's new HIV/AIDS writer. Oops, *ahem*..."science writer".

Dono,

yes I did see the column before this one. My bet is that Mr. Golob's function as "science writer" is to spend most of his time on HIV/AIDS and closely-related issues. Let's just wait and see, though, how much other "science" he tackles in his columns.

The Stranger? A science writer?? Of course.
