What’s with the 20 masking taped garbage bags on the Plaza? Columbia’s chapter of the Student Global AIDS campaign are raising awareness about Abbott Labs‘ refusal to make a key anti-retroviral drug, Kaletra, available at low prices unless the government of Thailand rescinds an order to import generic versions of the life-saving medicine (read more here). Each bag represents 10,000 people in Thailand who need it. Make a phone call?
Meanwhile, Columbia School moms are holding a doozy of a bakesale on the Sundial–a little something to sweeten up your day after thinking about wasting diseases.

@Umm... What happened to the Tao Tan post?
@Thank god For a second I wondered if i had hallucinated that. Quite aside from the worry that I was seeing things, that my first hallucinatory experience would have been an interview with Tao was worrying me.
