When I first moved into my apartment in San Francisco, I was incredibly psyched to buy my first house plant. So, I drove to local plant store in search of the perfect specimen. When I opened up the doors of the greenhouse, I was blown away by how many types of plants there were. After walking down aisles and aisles of choices, a particular olive tree caught my eye.

Hi. Now, as you can see, I'm not dressed to impress. By the looks of it here, it's looking like I'm probably the most dressed down person in this room this afternoon.Now, I'm not here as an athlete or here as a CEO. Obviously, there's no suit or power pose, grand performance. I'm just here as a person, just as a human being, sitting on something that I feel that we've all been feeling lately, especially in this part of the world.When when trust breaks, how do you rebuild it. >> Certainly not through speeche ...

I remember in 2004 after men's school NYC um you go for your housemanship that is a rotate of a regular physician in Nigeria if you're not up to 30 years of age and then you go for your NYS.

I was 6 weeks postpartum and had just survived my first devastating ordeal as a mother.At 23 days old, my perfect brand new baby daughter developed a fever. It kept climbing 101, 102, 104. As we rushed her to the hospital, it reached 105.She began seizing, turned green. Her condition was so severe that her usual hospital couldn't treat her and we had to make the agonizing drive to another clinic. And e ...

Now, although it's kind of in my interest to keep it that way, the truth is that this unrealistic view makes science seem inaccessible.

Well, not exactly. I just asked Ch ...
