And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how a foreign government's energy policy can have major consequences for a U.S. election without firing a shot or casting a single ballot. Whether intentional or not, Beijing's decision just made Trump's fuel-price problem even harder to solve.

Double jeopardy grant review is a thing. On re-review of a grant at CIHR the success rate goes up when you have more reviewers re-reviewing the sequential resubmission. It rises to 59% success rate if all 3 reviewers re-review a grant vs 21% with no common reviewers. Let that sink in … 🤔
