People
Wes Fraser, formerly a postdoc in my group, is now a Plaskett Fellow at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory.

Mike Brown's Planets

The Planet Hunter
A fabulous children's book by Liz
Rusch called
The Planet Hunter: The Story Behind What Happened to Pluto
The book includes, amazingly, drawings of my childhood dog, my green 1965 VW bug, and, best of all, a drawing of my daughter as she might look when she is a few years older.
