Remember last week how Dr. Oz called AI the best solution for rural healthcare shortages?

10 years ago today, I was offered a permanent job at MO State. (I started working here as a Visiting Professor, which is a temporary job.) So, this is my 11th year here. Longest I've ever lived/worked in the same place, so pretty wild for me. :)
