Did people listen to the topical podcast with that guy from Penn? I thought it was crazy to hear Mostaghimi basically admits HMS is still a step behind Penn. that alone makes me want to meet one of these Penn kids

So did Penn State not send invites out? I see it was removed. This is starting to get confusing.

#7402017-2018 DermMar 23

It was removed by someone insecure. They did send out a wave of invites.

I don't think it's insecurity so much as this is what happens when people cry wolf!
