@DiedSuddenly_ I wore a red shirt last week - and I caught a cold the week after. Last time I wear a red shirt since they obviously cause illness.

@neubadah @dr_alexharris Work with your Associations (AAMC, SFN, FASEB, etc.) on their responses to the proposed changes for NIH. They are doing a good job reaching out, capturing input from many and synthesizing carefully messaged response. Strength in numbers and unity of message.

@TateRodemaker Good catch. KH is a hypocrite. Like so many today, no real principles but just expediency of the current situation that suits him best.

@ACCFootball @RLGrahe @FSUFootball @Seminoles It was simply rigged for the SEC. Clearly the performance on the field does not matter - just the prognostications of a few.
