Retired from biotech and daily journalism. Proud dad and granddad.

@JaredSleeper Complete fail on Western PA and NE Ohio.

@MichaelMcGough3 And…?

[Tom Petzinger @tompetz]

@robkhenderson If the study compared these two groups, how could they be compared to an average?

[Tom Petzinger @tompetz]

@marklewismd @literaryeric @DrSidMukherjee That is a brilliant book.

@dlondonwortel _Technics and Civilization,_ by Lewis Mumford.

[Tom Petzinger @tompetz]

@MediaHistoryNow @dlondonwortel Thanks! I’m afraid I’m on to other topics and must leave the airline updating to people more informed than me at this stage. But it’s still a hell of a story.

[Tom Petzinger @tompetz]

@JoyceCarolOates I love your book on George Bellows.

[Tom Petzinger @tompetz]

@MichaelMcGough3 My god, yes. It’s become a tic. Many TV journalists and hosts do it, but none more than on NPR. I think I’ve counted as many as four consecutive beats.

@IggyBanny I was sensitized to his aversion when I was a young journalist and spent an afternoon with him and Vera at the Montreaux Palace. I promised I wouldn’t quote him, though I did write an account of the encounter in my college literary magazine. That was a magical day.

[Tom Petzinger @tompetz]

@JoyceCarolOates Yes, and Nabokov refused every interview request.

[Tom Petzinger @tompetz]

@MichaelMcGough3 CQ.

[Tom Petzinger @tompetz]

@MichaelMcGough3 They have to parrot the label. But somewhere along the line, FDA began to tolerate the use of symbol and analogies in drug advertising, which is why you see clouds and shadows in commercials for depression treatments.

@lukeburgis Agree on all counts, except that Andy Warhol was actually from Pittsburgh!

@MediawatchNw @JoyceCarolOates It’s a British meat pie, typical pub fare, delicious.

[Tom Petzinger @tompetz]

@HeidiBriones I don’t get it. His book was banal platitudes. His podcast interviews are poorly prepared.

[Tom Petzinger @tompetz]

@chrisbriem See what you did there.

I worked at an Isaly’s store in Youngstown circa 1970. Ran the chipped ham slicer, dipped skyscraper ice cream cones, learned to smoke cigarettes at age 15. The owner put his .45 in my apron when I walked the night deposit to the bank.

[Tom Petzinger @tompetz]

@CankayKoryak Yes, and preclinical in vivi studies will always take as much time as they take. Chemical stability studies intrinsically take time.

[Tom Petzinger @tompetz]

@ProfMJCleveland Because of this.
