I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor. My time as Governor taught me to

I am very excited about a new project w. colleagues in Australia. We will develop new strategies to boost cattle health and productivity by reducing enteric methane production. A press release by the AUS Govnmt provides a great summary of our project.

@TheHessLab is excited to be part of the solution by improving our understanding of the microbial processes that drive rumen function and by identifying advanced ways to alter these microbial processes towards less methane and healthier animals.

Our first paper, on COVID-19 infection fatality ratios, from a wonderful collaboration, we literally started the week before the virus shut down the entire world.... https://t.co/UYUqJ6DrTL Thank you everyone involved for turning the shutdown into a very productive opportunity.
