Common sense just flies right past your teeny little brain Bert.

We don't want to read anyone's slurs about how another's family is
cared for, and using that to push your political agenda.

The degree of chauvinism you display on this topic is breathtaking.
The reality is though that people of real accomplishment in science
are not like you at all, and I have met many. When I taught Molecular
Biology at Mississippi College, I would take my students to annual
presentations by major researchers, including several Nobel laureates
at the University of Southern Mississippi. In almost every case, we
got a private session with the speaker where our students would get
the chance to talk to them about science. It's not really that
surprising though, when you think about it, to be really successful
like that you have to be highly motivated, positive and enthusiastic
about what you do, ie the kind of person who would do just that thing;
the polar opposite of the Clark type.

The interesting thing about symposia is you have to be invited to
participate, and while one we did does not have a formal publication
associated with it, ACS symposia Clark says he knows about are
published, and we had two articles in it, with the one I was involved
with being a 10 page article, I wonder how Clark came to believe any
article in such symposia could be a single page, although maybe he had
one that was just a single page, who knows? . Of course the great
"Clark" is too pin headed to be associated with The American Chemical
Society, but it is a good outlet for my students, which is why I got
involved (I don't have to do any research at all, have never been paid
for it, FWIW, I do it purely for the betterment of humanity, which in
my case comes through development of my students). In any event, you
can buy the publication if you want:

His MO is to accuse people of the things he is doing. This comes as no
surprise.

I missed something. Someone raises an issue and I respond. Something
wrong with that? The issue is quality of care, and clearly the
American got better care than the Brit.
