I've been meaning to publicly congratulate my friend Jordan Paul Amadio, who was recently named to USA Today's 2005 College Academic All-Stars First Team. It's a well-deserved honor. Jordan is not only a bright young scientist, but he also pays attention to the social, cultural, economic and ethical context in which he will practice his science. He recently returned from a trip to Africa, where he further explored the idea of science and technology to benefit the "have-nots" of the world. I'll let the USA Today blurb tell the rest of Jordan's story.
