The 2008 MacArthur Fellows were announced today, which means excitement and lots of money ($500,000 no strings attached) for 25 people for the next five years. Some of the recipients include:
Chimamanda Adichie:
Columbia, MD
Age: 31
Fiction writer
Alexei Kitaev:
Pasadena, CA
Age: 45
Physicist/Computer Scientist
Diane Meier
New York, NY
Age: 56
Geriatrician
Miguel Zenon
New York, NY
Age: 31
Saxophonist
I wonder what Miguel and Diane have to talk about.
Apparently you can't apply. There's this secret team of genius-finders that sifts through the garbage of minds until they find a diamond.
Good luck to all the new MacArthurs. Keep me in mind next time, guys.
