Well obvs he is one hot MAGA warrior [this is sarcasm]. Facts: he is (a) overly full of himself, (b) delusional, (c) a Josef Goebbels doppelgänger, (AND wannabe). I don’t think he’ll be happy until he incites an armed revolt and then gets to call in air strikes on tenement slums. (IMHO)

Roundworms = nematodes
Flatworms = platyhelminths
Segmented worms = annelids
Have they changed this system of classifying types of worms since the late 1970s (when I learned it/them)?
Next you’ll be telling us Pluto is no longer a planet and that birds are just a type of reptile.

One SC2 variant that i see usually overlooked is XFC that is basically LP.8.1.1 with the NTD from LF.7 ,
interestingly it has been sampled two times in travelers coming into US from Ethiopia in a period spanning four months suggesting it may have high prevalence there along with XFJ .

Oh the stories we could uncover if we collected all of these tales. As a postdoc we learned that Bob Horvitz selected ‘n’ b/c he tested all of the remaining single letters and n was the easiest/fastest to draw. Who knows? I used ‘uc’ for (pick 1): Upper Canada|Univ of California|Univ of Colorado
