Penn Senior Wins Gates Scholarship! And We Kind Of Know Him!

The DP reports that senior Alexander Jacobs has snagged a Gates Scholarship.  ("Snag" might not be the best verb choice for something so scholarly, but um, that's why we didn't win one.)  At Cambridge, Alex will pursue an MPhil in History, Philosophy & Sociology of Science, Technology & Medicine.  More importantly, as the article mentions, Alex is a onetime Street staffer--he used to edit the music and features sections, and we believe he still lives with at least one current staffer.  He's also really tall and some people call him A.J. and his Street articles are available here.  Congratulations, Alex, you are officially the most successful former Street editor ever.
