Eddy Rubin is a longtime Ocean Beach enthusiast who has been walking, surfing, and foraging along the beach for decades. When not spending time at Ocean Beach, he led the Human Genome Project at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. There, Eddy oversaw the mapping of genomes for humans, Neanderthals, and dozens of animals, plants, and microbes. His awards include an honorary doctoral degree, membership in a royal society, and—a matter of great personal pride—election into the Ocean Beach Double Overhead Surf Association.
