Music's Transformative Power

When writer Marjorie Centofanti attended a memorial concert for cellist Gregor Piatigorsky last May, she left Homewood's Shriver Hall feeling transformed. "You really do feel changed in some way knowing there are people like Piatigorsky," says Centofanti, assistant director of science publications for the Office of Corporate Communications of Hopkins Medicine. Upon learning that Hopkins neurologist Dan Drachman is married to Piatigorsky's daughter, Jephta, and is an accomplished clarinetist himself, she was inspired to write "Theme and Variations." Centofanti's work has appeared in The Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun, Science News, and American Health.

Cold Calls

While on assignment for "What's in the Fridge?", photographer Will Kirk '99 didn't know what he would find in the dozen refrigerators he opened across Hopkins, camera in hand. The strangest thing Kirk came across (in a lab fridge) was a herpes specimen from 1986. The most surprising? The contents of an undergraduate's refrigerator. Instead of finding cheap beer and soy sauce packets, he encountered soy milk and Boca Burgers. Kirk, a staff photographer at Hopkins since 1999, lives in Hampden, where his refrigerator is filled with Berger cookies and barbecue sauces.
