Turning Point Russell Neches

摘要

Trained as a physicist, Russell Neches is now pursuing a PhD in microbial ecology. A believer in the do-it-yourself approach, Neches, of the University of California, Davis, wrote an algorithm to find a PhD adviser and manufactures lab supplies cheaply with a three-dimensional (3D) printer. Have you always been a do-it-yourselfer? Yes. I had a unique high-school experience at the Putney School in Vermont. It was a working farm. I was one of 180 students growing all of our own food. That set the stage for my pursuit of practical, hands-on education.
