Alex Farris, MD

Excellent neurology residency program, familiar culture and climate (I grew up in Indiana). The value that the city places on local artists, writers, farmers, and activists. The city is as focused on national & global events as any Big Ten college town should be, but it also showcases all the people who make the city home & make the city better.

[Interests include] board games, video games, stargazing, human spaceflight, and journalism. For the last one, although I'm now a doctor, I still have some allegiance to my prior career in photojournalism.
