Mayfield: A Timely Reminder From the Parents of a Nobel Prize Recipient

I am a dad. That means I worry almost constantly about our kids.

This week, I met two lovely people who made me worry a tiny bit less about how I am doing as a parent.

You may have heard of Dr. David Baker. He’s a genius who works at UW on creating brand new proteins.  He was just awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work. He’s a pretty big deal.

What you may not have heard, is that long before he was a Nobel recipient, he was a kid in Seattle Public Schools. He went to Garfield High School and what was then Meany Junior High.
