From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greetings,

John Lattier is my name. I'm a student at Emory University. I just began the PhD program in biochemistry, cell, and developmental biology. I enjoy everything about biology, from molecular processes to the translation of proteins to the battles waged by the immune system. It all intrigues me to no end. If I were asked to name an important person in the biological sciences who I highly admire, it would be without a doubt Richard Dawkins. I have chosen biology because I would like to do research that could lead to possible cures or treatments for Type I diabetes, a disorder which afflicts my younger brother.

My interests, besides biology, include chess (rating~1800), veganism, atheism and philosophy, heavy metal, guitar, baseball, boxing, racquetball, and I have written many poems.

  • *Hi John, Funninly enough, we share the same name, although mine is spelled Jon Lattier, sans an H, but I googled my own name, seeing what happened, and I found your wikipedia page, I just thought I would stop in and say hi. I am a student at University of Cincinnati's College Conservatory of Music, studying Jazz Bass. I don't even know if you want me to write on your page, but I thought I would introduce myself to another Lattier, seeing as the name is not all that common, and it also gets constantly butchered. Anyway, good luck with your program, and keep the Lattier pride alive.

Jon,
Hi! Your message caused me to dig around on the internet to try to find my genealogy. I managed to trace it all the way back to Jean Lattier (French for John Lattier) who lived in France in the early 1700s. Check out these two pages:

Apparently after Jean Lattier, it's Joseph (first to come to Louisiana), Francois Sr., Francois Jr., Francois Rene, Firmin, Alphonce, James, Ken, then me! That makes Jean my Great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather! I wonder if/how you and I are related. Do you have any family history from Louisiana? France? I'm at John.Lattier@Gmail.com if you ever feel like writing. But on here is fine, too.
