Armed Forces Institute of Pathology

This would be a great thing to look up if you don't know that.

But this is, it used to be called AFIP, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, four weeks of Rad Path Boot Camp, where we as residents would go to Washington, D.C., to the military base called the AFIP, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.

Fun fact, my dad was the head of AFIP for many years and taught thousands of radiologists.

But basically, it was a one-month boot camp with RadPath correlation.

So I got tremendous volume of experience.

And then also I spent a couple weeks at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology where I did boot camps.

for the radiology and the pathology or the diagnosis of musculoskeletal tumors, which I think helped me dramatically in my career also.

So I took on really like a very patient-centric approach, right? Individualizing the care for each patient.

Particularly, we've talked many times about the resurrection of the 1918 Spanish flu.

And I believe what we haven't talked about is the fact that Jeffrey Taubenberger, when he began that research, was working, and I want to make sure I have this right, he was working at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, D.C., where he headed the Division of Molecular Pathology.

So if, just think of it this way, if you're a foreign nation and you see a researcher at the Armed Forces Institute working on resurrecting an extinct virus that killed millions of people, That would seem to me to be the same type of concern that Anthropic is flagging here, that you have a researcher doing work for a military research institute that is potentially creating a bioweapon.

Yeah, if you're in the Chinese military or the Russian military and you saw that, you would say, goodness me, we know that's a really nasty virus, and therefore you see...

So I specialize in pathology because I already have quite many years experience studying molecular biology.

So I choose pathology and run in the laboratory and NCI and then later on in the Institute called AFIP, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.

Then I later on transferred to FDA.

So I retired as a medical officer from FDA.

But the truth in these investigations is rarely that clean.

They sent Kramer's tissue samples to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology for a deeply thorough analysis, and the results come back definitive.

No heart attack.

Exactly.
