The therapies and measures to be used are essentially the same as used in these successful trials. The psychology of that statement is very...
The only thing on which I would disagree is that most good science is done by mavericks working in isolation: Einstein Newton Leibniz Descartes...
I wonder what the inspired mid-field pass from @Healthy_Control was?
That is a fairly incisive reply from Godwin. Sharpe may come to regret that tweet.
