There goes your grant, Brad. But not all MacA fellows are famous. I had a friend from
college who got one shortly into his career as a prof; he crashed and burned. Another
college friends who got one is now a Stanford stat prof, a former colleague of yours
(Dave Donoho), and famous only among mathematicians. What i want to know is,w4 here's
mine? --jks
I'm a cynic about the MacArthur Foundation. Giving money to already
well-known and highly-respected people who have massive access to
grants already doesn't do much to boost useful research. But it does
get the MacArthur Foundation a bunch of good publicity...
