Josh Pothen is a MD-PhD student at the UVM College of Medicine, currently doing a PhD in Bioengineering. He graduated from Cornell University’s College of Engineering in 2007 with a Bachelor’s in Computer Science. He is the oldest of his siblings, with two brothers and one sister who are all smarter than him. His Dad is a professor of computer science, and his Mom is a homemaker turned preschool teacher. Born in the United States, Josh considers himself more of an American than an Indian in terms of culture. (He hates Indian food.) His interests are numerous, as he would like to be a Renaissance man. A few include the Trinity, intellectualism, writing, film, music, dancing, wine, deep conversations, making other people laugh and The Pothen Podcast.
