THIS is Why

Because Christina was so sick she nearly dropped out of college.   But she changed her diet,  got better, and she stayed in school.
Yesterday, one of the experiments she worked on as an undergrad was published in PNAS and the study has an article on National Geographic. (summary here)  That's freakin impressive!
The topic is pretty cool, too.  Why humans don't metabolize fructose efficiently.

You'll just have to wait a a couple years 'til she publishes what she's working on now. 
She's gonna teach everyone a thing or two about narcolepsy... heh.

A brain is a terrible thing to waste.
