No doubt the Beatles wish they had written this memorable line, but it was destined to become the chemistry thesis title of Josh Vaughan ’00.
After finishing his thesis with Prof. Dan Gerrity, Josh went off to MIT to earn a PhD in 2005. He is currently (since 2008) enjoying the fruits of a Burroughs Wellcome Career Award at the Scientific Interface, and this July he will be joining the Chemistry faculty (and fellow Gerrity thesis student, Prof. Daniel Gamelin ’90) at the University of Washington as an assistant professor.
Judging from the titles of recent publications, we anticipate that he will study something connected with fluorescence.
