Hello. I'm Ben.

Sometimes on the web, I go by 'nosugrefneb', which is my name spelled backwards.

I am a medical student at the Pritzker School of Medicine and a PhD candidate in the Committee on Cancer Biology at the University of Chicago. I graduated from the University of Illinois in 2004 and currently live in Chicago's South Loop neighborhood.

In 2007, I started the Pritzker Podcast, almost certainly the finest medical school admissions podcast in the land. Photography, technology, and medical education also interest me greatly. I have lately been espousing literal punctuation of quotation marks, as you might have noticed.
