Dominate is the right word.
And that kinda talk makes this researcher's heart quicken in pace.
I'm already having a decent little summer on the publishing front , and that's without having heard yet from several potential funding agencies.
Looks like many of our faculty are stepping up, big time.

A great article for those of you who are interested in reading about the impending explosion of perfection that's happening in Aggieland.

I can understand that.
In the immortal words of our very own Aggie troubadour, REK: Leaving never hurts as much as bein' left behind ...."
The power of the down vote is all the sips (and some Boudreaux) have left.

Whatever happened with that big government bid A&M and I believe two other schools won to develop mass vaccines or something like that? I believe it happened a couple of years ago.

Good Lord, how do we have so many downvotes for having top notch research at Texas A&M on the Texas A&M Board? We need some cleansing.
