Matthew Farnitano

If Matthew doesn't submit his blurb on time, the web designer will cry. Nobody wants that. John is an undergrad at Duke University. He is triple-majoring in biomedical engineering, economics, and music (with a certificate in Genome Sciences and Policy!) but his real passion is writing blurbs just like this one. No lorem ipsum for this guy. He enjoys underwater knitting, dry-land basket-weaving, and will be studying ''very'' abroad on the International Space Station next semester. John's favorite show is ''Scrubs'' because he is one. He would also like you to know that he does not utilize social media and is quite alive, and thusly any Twitter pages of him or reports of his mysterious demise are, in his words, "as fake as a three-dollar bill whistling the national anthem."

Matthew Faw

Matthew Faw still believes in Santa. Nobody ruin it for him. John is an undergrad at Duke University. He is triple-majoring in biomedical engineering, economics, and music (with a certificate in Genome Sciences and Policy!) but his real passion is writing blurbs just like this one. No lorem ipsum for this guy. He enjoys underwater knitting, dry-land basket-weaving, and will be studying ''very'' abroad on the International Space Station next semester.

Delta Ghoshal

Delta's just a teensy bit of a hypocrite. John is an undergrad at Duke University. He is triple-majoring in biomedical engineering, economics, and music (with a certificate in Genome Sciences and Policy!) but his real passion is writing blurbs just like this one. No lorem ipsum for this guy. He enjoys underwater knitting, dry-land basket-weaving, and will be studying ''very'' abroad on the International Space Station next semester. John's favorite show is ''Scrubs'' because he is one. He would also like you to know that he does not utilize social media and is quite alive, and thusly any Twitter pages of him or reports of his mysterious demise are, in his words, "as fake as a three-dollar bill whistling the national anthem."
