[No, Danny, there is no prize for defining a first-year pancake. All others are eligible to feel proud of themselves if they know which Danny I mean.]RAVIN BALAKRISHNAN WINS SLOAN FELLOWHSIP
These things are a big deal, and it's wonderful Ravin has won one. You should take a course from him, if you can fit it in.
In case you're interested, the other U of T Sloan winner was Deborah Zamble of Chemistry. I got to interview her last year as part of a survey about team teaching. Now, I know nearly nothing about chemistry (I even picked a university partly to avoid first-year chemistry), and even less about evaluating research, but somehow I'm not surprised she won this award. She just seemed right -- wanting to do her research and caring about her teaching too.
Sort of like Ravin.
