@parthaskar I’ve been where you are. It’s so hard. Here’s the biggest hug. Xxx

WTF is going on here? Since when is distributing copies of an editorial, from the ADA's OWN JOURNAL, a reason to be ejected from the conference #ADA2026? I stand in support of the ejected scientists. https://t.co/cXFqjqZbfN

@GilesYeo With you

Police removed diabetes scientists from the convention center here in New Orleans today after they attempted to pass out copies of an editorial from a peer-reviewed scientific journal (impact factor = 16.6) that was critical of NIH.

@AliceYYCheng Diabetologists, stand up for your patients and for diabetes. And kudos to Steve Kahn for his courage and leadership.

[Vivienne Parry @vivienneparry]

@ShivaniM_KC And Shivani is also consistently rated as outstanding by her colleagues

[Vivienne Parry @vivienneparry]

@GilesYeo Thrilled for you. And quite right too.

[Vivienne Parry @vivienneparry]

Sorry to learn of Craig Venter’s death. He was often said to be tricky but he and I got along just fine

[Vivienne Parry @vivienneparry]

@ShivaniM_KC @parthaskar I was on a flight when the attendant came up and asked the guy next to me if he could come and help with an emergency at the back because they’d seen he was a doctor. ‘Only if the patient is rusting, I’m a doctor of metallurgy’ came the reply

[Vivienne Parry @vivienneparry]

Excellent piece

@Lance_exQC @campbellclaret Alastair do you know about https://t.co/doS5cpyyMu connecting people and trees across Europe through music written by acclaimed British composer, Graham Fitkin? Check it out. Is amazing.

Do you know of anyone, killed in a car accident, whose family have struggled to get insurance or the statutory death grant paid quickly, that suffered serious financial hardship? Need to expose scandalous delays for BBC prog.

@OborneTweets Massively delayed in Manchester Piccadilly. @AvantiWestCoast staff were calm, helpful and did a great job in very challenging conditions. Hats off girls.

I realize that I am just a general contractor. Not a big city developer who has never brought in a project on budget and many of his projects have gone bankrupt. But here is what I know.

Never in the history of any public works project has any legitimate contractor neglected to deal with the National Registry of Historic Properties before demolishing a property. Never in the history of such projects has any contractor not submitted, plans, for permits and approvals. Never in recent history has any project like this not been cleared through environmental agencies who would make sure that asbestos and lead were not in a very old building. Finally, it is unbelievable that in less than a week he has literally doubled the budget for the project.

And since contractors have to be licensed who is the contractor?

This is egregious. This man needs to be reminded that he is one year into a four year lease and he did not even consult the building owners before he destroyed history.
