Dr. Matthew Hopson, after completing his residency training in traditional podiatric and orthopedic surgical methods, moved from Denver to practice medicine closer to home. He recently joined a podiatry practice in Culpepper, VA.
Jordan Yelinek completed his Ph.D. in cell biology from Yale University and moved to San Francisco. He works as a consultant for The Alexander Group, Inc., in their health care practice, mainly focusing on biotech and pharmaceutical companies. He writes, "California is a beautiful place to live. When I moved here a little over a year ago, I turned to my best friend turned roommate... and native Californian, and asked: 'When will this place feel like home?' It was hypothetical but, a year later, we were at a cocktail party at the University Club listening to Elizabeth Alexander, Obama's Poet Laureate, give a lecture, and I realized that I now call San Francisco home (as much as any place can be away from Chestertown)."
