Our Sunday Yippee!

Manfred Steiner always wanted to be a physicist. But life…and his storied career…brought him down a different path for a while. As a young man, Steiner fled Vienna as World War II ended and eventually landed in the United States. He took up medicine because he says "it would be a better choice in these turbulent after-war years." He gained his medical degree and moved to Rhode Island where he accepted a lauded position as a hematologist at Brown University. Throughout what turned out to be a long career in medicine, Steiner always thought about his physicist dream. Recently, he turned it into a reality and defended his Ph.D. dissertation at Brown at 89-years-old!

To Steiner we say a big Yippee! for proving to us it's never ever too late to go after your dream! Read more via Brown University's site here.
