A Tiger Baby!

DEREK YECIES and JESSICA (LUCAS) YECIES were delighted to welcome their son James Peter Yecies into the world on December 20th, 2012. Derek said, “He is named for our beloved and dearly missed classmate PETER NORMAN CURTIN, and we hope he will have Pete's kindness and zest for life, even if Pete's chemistry prowess and overall 'dapperness' will be hard to live up to.” James was 7 lbs when he was born, and both Jess and James are doing great. Besides procreating, Derek is in his last year of medical school at Boston University and applying for residencies in neurosurgery.  Jess completed her Ph.D. in biology at Harvard a year ago and has been working for the life sciences consulting firm ClearView Healthcare Partners since then. James will be making his Princeton debut at the fifth and is excited to meet all of you! You can see he’s already sporting Princeton gear.

This is a big spring for medical school graduations!  RAJANI SHARMA also will be graduating from medical school this May, and she is applying for residency in internal medicine. Aside from enjoying 4th year and traveling, she was the overall winner of the national medical student research competition at the American Medical Association meeting in Honolulu, HI. She said, “Good luck to everyone matching for residency this year!”
