This was Liz Dolan's week on the hot seat in her law school class at Stanford. The class is The 14th Amendment. The professor is Constitutional scholar Pam Karlan. And it was Liz's turn to answer the professor's questions. How'd she do? As Meatloaf famously said, two out of three ain't bad. Also this week, Liz reports on the Stanford Longevity Project's Healthy Aging Conference. Plus, it's Top Chef Stanford! Liz has dinner at a frat and attends a cooking class for students taught by Stanford chef Andrew Mayne. His title is Senior Associate Director of Culinary Event Strategy and Plant Award Experience but the most important thing is that he's a fibrist. Remember, fiber is the new protein.
