'What is your research question?
- a sardonic new drama about a group of jaded medical statisticians who each week must explain the same issues over and over again to their arrogant clinical colleagues. All while receiving minimum recognition or reward.
I'd watch that!

Why would John Green, a best-selling American novelist, write a book about tuberculosis?
The answer can be found in his new book Everything is Tuberculosis: The History and

Remember this picture every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."
This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.
Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.
Better choices instead of excuses.
