Tragically, some people are genetically more susceptible than others to agripoisons and industrial pollutants.

Having a faster, thinner telephone is not one of the world's biggest problems. Votes: 2
I think it's a very valuable thing for a doctor to learn how to do research, to learn how to approach research, something there isn't time to teach them in medical school. They don't really learn how to approach a problem, and yet diagnosis is a problem; and I think that year spent in research is extremely valuable to them. Votes: 2
