Paris Grey’s article, Empty Bench Syndrome, beautifully captures the bittersweet nature of academia in that our goal as educators is to make our students leave us. Her article made the front page of ASBMBToday (or, the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for the non-cognoscenti), which has a readership of approximately 32,000. Paris also runs a wonderful website and blog for undergraduate researchers and those of us lucky enough to mentor them: http://undergradinthelab.com. Paris’s student, Madi Turcotte, is also celebrated in our upcoming issue of Symbiosis. Thank you Paris for your excellent writing and mentoring!
