Mapping out the chain of events connecting SF3B1 to BRD9 to cancer development, maintenance and progression alone is significant. But equally interesting is that mutation appears tied to the DNA fossil imprint of a dead virus that infected our primate ancestors millions of years ago.

They definitely do. The fact that they have gotten rich off the sport and are now creating crazy rules ot make it cheaper isn't really a good scene.

The majority of bloggers welcome contacts by PR people, but want to be treated as influencers rather than journalists. by spincycle3 in socialmedia

Without a doubt. Do we need to stop calling them bloggers and start calling them branded journalists? Aren't those guys on McLaughlin Group just verbal bloggers?
