    Alas, the audiommunity team is missing the AAI meeting, but I’ll be at ASM (also in New Orleans).

    Thanks Rich for getting the pronunciation right 😛

  2. I think I heard someone yawn when you listed all the responsible
    conduct or research topics in the special JMBE issue. Hopefully unintentional—it’s a
    good issue: http://jmbe.asm.org/index.php/jmbe/issue/view/27
    (also includes some regular papers)

    I think the NIH RFI link should be this: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-084.html

    According to this 2013 piece Dr. Oz ‘still performs operations there each Thursday’: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/02/04/the-operator
    Specter also wrote a blog post on the recent letter: http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/columbia-and-the-problem-of-dr-oz

    No link for the wine spectator? http://www.winespectator.com/webfeature/show/id/51471

    Alan will be glad to know that we have a barley genome sequence: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v491/n7426/full/nature11543.html
    His jokes seemed more over the top than usual in the caulimovirus section—you should get a drumroll-cymbal crash sound.

    I hope you do another show with Jens Kuhn.

  3. Translational Research (PK) will be involved in the design and execution of in vivo PK/ADME studies and the evaluation of clinical pharmacokinetic data to support the development of Creative Animodel product candidates.
