You People Made Me Give Up My Peanut Farm Before I Got To Be President

Sen. Cramer endorses Trump making billions on crypto schemes while in office: "If we punished every POTUS who was successful at something & said they can't legislate, if they were a farmer like Jimmy Carter they can't sign a farm bill? There are lots of potential conflicts, but it's all about Trump"

Nik's been my barber for years. He works weekends, gives a good haircut at a good price, and is unfailingly polite and friendly. I forgot my wallet once and was going to run home, but he insisted I could bring it later and cut my hair anyway. We usually chat about our daughters. I hope he's OK.

Also, as with many things ASM in the last ~10 yrs, it isn't just a question of the decision but also how the decision was made. In the Bylaws (linked at ASM.org), Article I says we're the American Society for Microbiology. Article XII.2 says Bylaws are amended by majority vote of membership.

Agree with this thread and would add that it isn't just undergrads and neighbors who won't know what "ASM" means. As a faculty member in a Biological Sciences department, I don't know the acronyms for major societies for many of my colleagues.
