Many thanks to @DoryAbelman for sharing his research on ultra-deep, cost-efficient whole genome sequencing of cell-free DNA in newly diagnosed myeloma.

@preetbanerjee I'm at the airport now. Arrived at 6:15 and through security by 6:45. There is no resemble of any incident where I am in the airport. Had I not seen the news, I'd have no idea anything was going on.

@KidDocKate @doctornontrad Thanks for thinking about a social work consult. It’s hard to make progress on health unless the patient has the basics of life—food, shelter, mental health support—to take advantage of all that advanced medicine can provide. #SocialWork

@BostonGlobe @sheets_tess This is scary stuff.. thanks for sharing

Planes are resuming after being grounded for some time. We take off in about half an hour. All services resuming and people at airport seem to be fine, no longer concerned or shaky. I'm feeling much better myself after being shaky earlier following the security incident. #MCO

[Dory Abelman @DoryAbelman]

@KRayWFTV @MCO I was close-by at the front of security. People suspected there was an active shooter and it sounded like it but this was not the case. The sounds of shots were from tazers fired at a subject who tried to cross security without being screened and wrestled with a TSA officer.

[Dory Abelman @DoryAbelman]

To everyone who was with me at the MCO security incident today, I hope you are feeling better now as operations are resuming slowly and not injured. Many people feel, many cried, and some are still shaking. I am still a little shaky myself. Sending my best wishes your way.

[Dory Abelman @DoryAbelman]

@joroulette @jillareeves @Reuters I was in there too. It was very scary. I ran out of the security check as people were running and ducking to the ground thinking we were being shot at by an active shooter. In the end there was no shooter and the sounds were from tazers TSA officers were using as protocol.

[Dory Abelman @DoryAbelman]

@OrlandoPolice @MCO I'm incredibly grateful to the TSA officers who worked extra hard to keep us safe and get us to our flights on time by safely expediting security and giving us continuous updates. Officers - for your bravery, attentiveness, care and patience with our anxieties, I am grateful.

[Dory Abelman @DoryAbelman]

From what I heard and from speaking to people the sound of shots came from a taser TSA officers used to stop a person who wrestled with an officer and tried to bypass security. They subject is believed also to be carrying a knife. There were large lines but everything is resuming

[Orlando Police @OrlandoPolice]

In regards to the incident at the Orlando International Airport @MCO, all reports on an active shooter or a subject with a gun are FALSE. Incident is contained and subject has been arrested.

Remember Canada's Veterans and their service and sacrifice for our country. On this day I try to remember for a moment what all too many can't forget every moment of every day. Our predecessors dreamed of and dedicated their lives to the freedoms we share today. #CanadaRemembers

Thinking of the many factors that contribute to healthy lifestyles with 5,000+ participants help us learn where to focus our efforts in promoting healthy body composition from childhood. Learning about how risks cluster together beyond just BMI with different types of people.
