I have the Denver date on my calendar. I’ve been meaning to renew my membership to the DMNS anyway.

See you in Vancouver!
Glad you got the Flu out of the way before the talk rather then having to cancel.

I’m looking forward to your talk at UMass Amherst and will try to drum up interest amongst our other historians of science and technology!

My understanding is we still make flu vaccine in chicken eggs because it isn’t profitable enough to make it recombinantly. I’ve heard a few manufacturers had recombinant techniques in the works, but scrubbed them because they couldn’t recoup their costs.

Carl, the idea that you weren’t conscious when you had the flu is interesting.

Were you not conscious because you were sleeping most of the time?

Or were you not conscious because were a zombie-slave, drawn to bed with no ‘free will’?
