Evergreen had opened up a whole new world to me. There I met many internationally celebrated people: there I was surrounded by the best art and music, as well as conversation. I knew I could never return to the life I had led before. ↗

I find it greatly disturbing that the Bush administration has used political and religious ideologies to influence national policy on science and medicine. ↗
