        If only those same scientists did the same. When was the last time you saw one form a null hypothesis before publishing?

        It's hard to really concentrate on reading science stuff when you are running a business day to day.

        This is what happens when you have a president-elect and base that fall entirely on the left side of the #BellCurve.

        They're gonna have to ask SNL to present it. But suggest to use short sentences, and visual aids.

        Too fast to react & feeding media frenzy. It'll all settle down. I wish people would stop jumping off cliffs & on to conclusions.
