Kudos for Art and John!


This fuzzy pic is from the retirement party for Art Caplan, who retired from his post as head of the Division of Medical Ethics at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York City. It shows Don heaping praise on Art, with John ready to also heap praise as soon as Don shuts up. Art helped the Musical Innertube navigate bioethical crises with 14 appearences on the podcast, applying ethical standards to health and science and medicine on topics ranging from vaccines to the Olympics. Enjoy your retirement, Art! (Art says retirement won't stop him from appearing on the Innertube, so we're pretty happy about that. And we got to eat a ton of food at the party!)

ONE OTHER THING WE NEED TO CELEBRATE -- JOHN TIMPANE'S NEW BOOK, POETRY FOR DUMMIES, THE SECOND EDITION. THERE'S A PICTURE OF THE COVER RIGHT THERE. JUST LOOK FOR THE AKWARD PEN ON THE COVER -- THE ONE THAT'S WRITING STRAIGHT UP-AND-DOWN, INSTEAD OF SLANTED LIKE REAL INK PENS WRITE.
