DOWNS SYNDROME


Dr. Collins at the NDSS award breakfast

Okay, so this guy Francis Collins is having too much impact on my life.  Here is a picture of him after having received an award from NDSS, which stands for National Downs Syndrome Society. The lady on his right is the head of NDSS.  The lady on his left, who obviously suffers from Downs Syndrome, is employed by NDSS as a community outreach associate.  Her name is Charlotte Woodward.  Charlotte recently GRADUATED from George Mason University, in Fairfax, VA!

That makes my paltry little PhD feel like a booby prize.

And to think we once thought of them as being, somehow,  “Mongoloid”!
