Wow Tara! How do you keep up on everything? I happened to see your Blog and wanted to say hi. I haven't read much of it yet but I will when I get time. If you haven't already, you should check out some of Fauci's videocast talks (http://videocast.nih.gov/ram/flu111504.ram) about the potential threats of Flu. How is Iowa treating you?

Is there such a thing as an "evolution-proof" drug? (part the third)

May 31, 2017
