"Teach without apology." Get rid of disclaimers: "I know this is boring..." or "You only need to know this for the boards..." If you're teaching it, it's important. #douglemov #facultydevelopment @DonJohnelly @CCHSIMResidency @CchsMed

Word to the wise: @deltafaucet doesn't stand by their products! I bought a pot filler by @deltafaucet a few years ago and it has developed a leak. @deltafaucet won't honor the limited lifetime warranty because it was purchased through a third-party seller on Amazon dot com.

I have a beef with @KenJennings On @Jeopardy tonight, these cattle were identified as “Angus” but the breed depicted is almost certainly “Highland”cattle. Both breeds did originate in Scotland though.
