As detailed in this newsletter, one faculty member – Geoffrey Talmon, M.D. – earned his seventh consecutive Golden Apple Award and will move into the Golden Apple Hall of Fame. He’ll be only the seventh faculty member to receive this recognition.

And the good it does was just proven to be even better.
