When the clock struck midnight computers would fail and the world would plunge into chaos

Thanks For The Shoutout
@NIEHS@NIH
#Research is formalized curiosity, it’s poking and prying with a purpose
It’s creating new knowledge
It’s to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought
