I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that this week’s co-winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Bruce Beutler, is the uncle of TPM reporter Brian Beutler. Resemblance much?
Brian’s grandfather was a noted researcher in his own right, and his uncle followed in his footsteps. Brian’s father became a physician, and Brian actually majored in physics at Berkeley before his sharp detour into political journalism. Congrats to the Beutler clan.
