A study in an issue of

death.
6. DO YOU KNOW?!
We have an estimate of
perhaps 10^34 "diseases"
possible in modern homo
sapiens, of which on the order
of 10^5 have been described
(cf. ICD-10), and of which
perhaps on 10^7 or 10^8
would be reasonably
considered to be "diseases".
9. WHAT IS RESEARCH !!
“Research” is defined as “a systematic investigation, including
research development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or
contribute to generalizable knowledge.”

President saying:
“I would like to thank you very much for
continuing the research. If the research
hadn’t continued, I wouldn’t be here today.”
