Albert Lin Interview
No full textAlbert Lin (J.D. 1995) was interviewed by Valeria Reynosa via the Zoom internet-based video conferencing software on June 30, 2021. He was born in Poughkeepsie, New York, a community in the state's southern region. Mr. Lin's parents spent much of their lives in Shanghai before moving to Taiwan. They decided to immigrate to the United States in the early 1960s so his father could pursue a degree at the University of Minnesota. After graduating, Mr. Lin's father acquired a job at IBM, which required him to relocated to New York, where Mr. Lin and his sister spent ten years of their life. In 1977, Mr. Lin's family relocated to Austin, Texas. He attended local high schools in Austin and then the University of Texas at Austin, from which he received Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Accounting. Lin became a Certified Public Accountant, and relocated to Dallas after acquiring a job at KPMG. After several years in Dallas, Mr. Lin decided to attend SMU's law school. During his interview, he discusses how the lack of Asian representation within the school motivated him to serve in leadership roles. He became involved with the SMU Law Review Board, where he served as the Texas Survey Editor. Mr. Lin also served as the SMU Asian American Law Students Association president. After graduating with his J.D. in 1995, Mr. Lin worked for the McDonald Sanders law firm in Fort Worth, Texas for five years and before moving to Austin to help create a hospital district. At the time of the interview, he worked as a partner for the Husch Blackwell law firm in Austin

His father and mother owned and operated “C & S Charter Tours Bus Company,” the first black-owned bus company in the state of Alabama. Crawford was a 1966 graduate of Western Olin High School in Birmingham, AL. Crawford was an outstanding drum major, playing first chair alto saxophone under the tutelage of the late Amos F. Gordon, Sr. After high school, he received a music scholarship to Alabama State University (ASU) where he earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Music Education and was later inducted into the “School of Music Hall of Fame” at ASU. He was the youngest ever inducted into the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army and performed with the 291 st and 283rd Army Band in Fort Bennett, GA. DC was Band Director at Jackson Olin High School and taught in the Birmingham School System for over thirty-five years. His love for music and performing lead him after his retirement to serve as Band Director for Miles College.
Crawford is the author of “The Wheels of the Birmingham Civil Rights Movement.” This book chronicles the lives of his late father and mother, Worcy and Christine Pride Crawford, and the role he and the company played in the Birmingham Civil Rights Movement

This study aimed to infer the causal relationship between liver function and acute pancreatitis using the Mendelian randomisation method. We employed summary data from a genome-wide association study involving individuals of European ancestry from the UK Biobank and FinnGen. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SCNPs), closely associated with liver function, served as instrumental variables. We used five regression models for causality assessment: MR-Egger regression, the random-effect inverse variance weighting method (IVW), the weighted median method (WME), the weighted model, and the simple model. We assessed the heterogeneity of the SNPs using Cochran’s Q test. Multi-effect analysis was performed using the intercept term of the MR-Egger method and leave-one-out detection. Odds ratios (ORs) were used to evaluate the causal relationship between liver function and acute pancreatitis risk. A total of 641 SNPs were incorporated as instrumental variables. The MR-IVW method indicated a causal effect of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) on acute pancreatitis (OR = 1.180, 95%CI [confidence interval]: 1.021–1.365, P = 0.025), suggesting that GGT may influence the incidence of acute pancreatitis. Conversely, the results for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (OR = 0.997, 95%CI: 0.992–1.002, P = 0.197) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (OR = 0.939, 95%CI: 0.794–1.111, P = 0.464) did not show a causal effect on acute pancreatitis. Additionally, neither the intercept term nor the zero difference in the MR-Egger regression attained statistical significance (P = 0.257), and there were no observable gene effects. This study suggests that GGT levels are a potential risk factor for acute pancreatitis and may increase the associated risk. In contrast, ALP and AST levels did not affect the risk of acute pancreatitis.</div
