A molecular biologist/beekeeper extraordinaire, a
cheese-making cognitive science major and 10
other Johns Hopkins affiliates with interesting, and even
award-winning, pastimes will help you tick
off the days, weeks and months of 2008.
The 12 students and faculty members are the stars of a
soon-to-be-released Johns Hopkins
calendar, titled Our Other Life, which endeavors to show the
richness of people's pursuits and
interests outside the classroom.
The 4.5-inch-by-9-inch desktop calendar features vivid
photographs, most of them taken by
university photographer Will Kirk, of the subjects in their
non-JHU personas, along with lively
descriptions of their personal passions.
The university's Office of Design and
Publications created the calendar at the suggestion
of President William R. Brody and his wife, Wendy.
