Next weekend I’ll be at #OTTHAC21 talking on @apple_hockey. It’ll be an overview of the model building process of APPLE, draft value, and releasing some preliminary 2021 NHL draft rankings. Also want to congratulate to all the #bigdatacup finalist and HMs. Best of luck!

This will go down in history as one of science and medical research's greatest achievements. Perhaps the most impressive. I put together a preliminary timeline of some key milestones to show how several years of work were compressed into months.

If you live in Pennsylvania and you voted by mail, please visit pavoterservices.pa.gov/Pages… and confirm your ballot status is listed as "Vote Recorded." I have found one friend whose ballot was never received and another whose ballot was "canceled" by the county. 1/8
