Folks in the Same Class
I was drinking with my astronomy friends on June 12, 2008. I was asked, "how many Japanese folks from your class (i.e., entered grad school in the same year) still remain in academia?" I then realized that I did not really keep track of the folks from my year -- I was so embarrassed because I could not remember all of them. So, here they are. For my record. My dear friends, who entered grad school in 1997. (Alphabetical Order)
