Intentional or not, it makes sense that the new CBS show, "2 Broke Girls" co-created by Penn alum Whitney Cumming (C'03) has a Penn reference in it.
After the jump check out an extended preview from the show and see at minute 1:44 why being a graduate of the Wharton Business school doesn't necessarily equate to "being a really fast learner". : )

Over the years on DT, I've covered some great stories about research coming out of Penn, but this one takes the cake.
Penn researchers led by gene therapy expert Dr. Carl June, found a new way for treating leukemia by "turning the patients' own blood cells into assassins that hunt and destroy their cancer cells."
More about this exciting research after the jump!

A couple of weeks ago we met aspiring LA TV writer Rob Forman (W'06) and he told us about his journey from Penn to LA, the agency he first worked at, and the TV shows on which he's been a writer's assistant.
In today's installment, Rob talks to us about the steps he's taking from being an aspiring TV writer to a "paid" writer. (Note the Rob's masterful use of "air quotes" throughout the video : ) )
After the jump, listen to Rob talk about:
- "spec scripts" and which TV shows he has written spec scripts for
- what to do once you have finished a spec script
- what has "fallen out of fashion" in terms of writing TV scripts
- which popular writing competitions he has submitted to ...which you should as well! (and which one he was a finalist in!)
- what he's working on now

Over the past couple of years on "Project Runway", we've seen this mega fashionista guest judge and this Penn alum appear as a contestant.
Last night a 3rd Penn alum appeared on the show and guest judged alongside Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors. And we learned she's "not a fan of voluminous wee wee pads" and she "loves sparkle".
After the jump, learn more about Stacey Bendet (C'99) and her story from her fashion beginnings at Penn to becoming a web designer to running a 50 million dollar company!
