In the past 15 years, FXPAL has hosted a large number of interns, many of whom have become (even more) prominent in their fields. We will soon be recruiting a new crop of interns, and I thought it would be interesting to dig around a bit and see what people are up to these days. A few are now employees at FXPAL. What about the others?
This list includes only those people for whom I easily found a current page with an explicit professional affiliation. There are many others who are flying below my radar.

If you were an intern or visiting scientist here, and do not appear on this list, please let me know where you are now and I will happily update it. If you do not want to appear in this rogues’ gallery, please let me know as well.
If you would like to be added to future versions of this list, please consider applying for an internship for 2010. A more formal call for interns is forthcoming, but this might be a good time to start thinking about it.
