Tuesday I had the real privilege of being able to listen in on a zoom cast for a group of retired Kiwanis members in Roseville MN. I know one of the retired Kiwanians there, and he told me about the program featuring Dr. Michael Osterholm, a long time Minnesota PhD specializing in infectious diseases. Tuesday, […]
