Dan Turner-Evans, Class of 2004
Dr. Daniel Turner-Evans is a Post-Doctoral Associate, working as a neuroscientist at Janelia Farm, an HHMI nonprofit research institute in Virginia. In his work at Janelia, he and his associates are working to understand the neural circuitry of mice, fish, and flies with the hope that lessons learned about their neurophysiology will garner insight into the human brain, and ultimately, to improve human mental health. Dan currently works with fruit flies in his research. After Hopkins, Dan went to Yale where he received his BS in Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering, and then went on to Cal-Tech to pursue a PhD in Applied Physics.

The Cum Laude logo
Originally named the Alpha Delta Tau fraternity, The Cum Laude Society adopted a stylized version of the Greek letter Tau ( t ) as its logo. Even though the fraternity evolved into the Cum Laude Society in the 1950's, the original logo was retained. It is used on all official publications and on Cum Laude pins to this day. The Greek alphabet developed in classical times (around the 9th century BC) and continues to be used for a variety of other purposes such as mathematical symbols and names of stars. Tau is the 19th letter of the Greek alphabet.
