Honored to meet esteemed pathologist Dr. Neal Van Alfen, who stopped by for a quick visit this week. Dr. Van Alfen was hired at the CT Ag Expt. Station 54 years ago via a surprise unsolicited offer letter from Jim Horsfall! He went on to great things, but said he had many fond memories here.

I hate the "secret price" too, as much as at hospitals and car dealers. Any kind of hidden knowledge you need selects for privilege, in this case having someone around to tell you that it's cheaper than sticker value, and the ability to pay $50-100 admission fee to find out your real price.

Participating in professional organizations together is not usually a COI for peer review though? I only rule out peer reviewers if they collaborated with the author on research in the past few years, have had a mentor/mentee relationship, work at the same institution, or self-report a COI.
