[QSB-grads] We are ranked!

[Miriam Barlow]

For the first time, QSB appeared in US News and World Report ranked QSB in
its best graduate programs in biological sciences.  We got a #175 of 235
based on a survey of individuals at peer institutions.  Lots of places are
not ranked, so being ranked is very good.

To put this in perspective, we rank somewhere below MIT,  Stanford and
Berkeley, and somewhere above George Mason and Loma Linda.

Marjorie is proud!  Thanks everyone for doing great things.
