Rebecca has been Rachel's best friend and closest confidant pretty much since her moment of birth. Growing up just 18 months apart, they shared a bedroom, four dachshunds, many adorable matching outfits, and countless adventures, both real and imaginary. Rebecca currently attends PA school at Pace University, where she is learning to save lives and answer her family's endless medical questions. We love you, Rebecca!

Sarah and Rachel first met in middle school during Minds on Science summer camp, where they shared custody of a tiny growing plant. No one remembers who took the plant home at the end of the summer. Sarah and Rachel re-met at UConn during the BRIDGE program, where multiple homework-driven all-nighters forged a friendship that would help them both make it through engineering school. Sarah now works for the FDA, using those well-earned biomedical engineering skills!

Siddharth and Henry met during their graduate year at Cornell. Henry was the one who helped pioneer the way for many Cornell Biomedical Masters students to come to Boston. Without him,Siddharth might not have known about the massive demand for low-paid biomedical grunts in Boston, and he might have struggled finding a job in Boston, delaying him from meeting up with Rachel again. Thanks Henry!

Greg and Siddharth made the long struggle through undergraduate Chemical Engineering together at Cornell, pulling all-nighters to complete the tough coursework hurled at them. Greg's smarts, sense of humor, and most of all support, helped Siddharth survive many a stressful team project, and now they can laugh about it all.

Erin and Rachel first met on the bus on the third day of kindergarten! Rachel plucked up all the courage a five-year-old could muster and asked Erin if she could sit with her. Erin luckily said yes. Thus began a friendship filled with girl scouts, triangle-shaped notes, ridiculous nicknames, and lots of running, all on the backdrop of the Brookfield school system. Erin now lives and works in Boston, where she and Rachel often meet up for brunch!

Patrick and Siddharth met at Cornell for their Master's program. Patrick's levity and intelligence often helped Siddharth get through many a stressful test prep session. He also hosted some kick-ass parties where Siddharth and Rachel often met. Nowadays, he organizes board game nights and plays Dungeons and Dragons with Siddharth.
