Budd A Tucker @stemcellseh.bsky.social · 15/11/2024IBV is now one in person and two zoom meetings per year, which I believe is the new push for all sections. IMO, there is little to no waste in the scientific review and program offices, and staff are stretched to their limit. Cuts would seriously harm the review/grants administration process. 071
Budd A Tucker @stemcellseh.bsky.social · 11/11/2024Growing up in Newfoundland, there were many interesting dialects.
