![]() ![]() I saw my first total solar eclipse in 1991, as a columnist with Travel Holiday, and attended Space Camp for an article in the retirement magazine New Choices. My most unforgettable assignment for the Times required me to live twenty-five days as a research subject in a “chronophysiology” laboratory at Montefiore Hospital, where the boarded-up windows and specially trained technicians kept me from knowing whether it was day outside or night.įor twenty years I wrote freelance for numerous magazines, most notably Harvard Magazine, Omni, Science Digest, and Discover, as well as Audubon, Life, and The New Yorker. My two all-time favorite full-time jobs were as science writer for the Cornell University News Bureau, where my beat included everything from astronomy to veterinary medicine, and staff reporter in the Science News department of The New York Times, covering psychology and psychiatry. ![]() Beginning fresh out of college as a technical writer for IBM, I moved quickly into journalism in January 1970, just in time for the first Earth Day. I have spent my entire professional life writing. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also Sean Murphy-Bunting made a statement that he wants to help the guys and mentor them which I found amazing. ![]() With all the coaching changes why didn't we bring on Eddie George? He would have been a great mentor and coach I believe. I had a question with all the coaching changes and a little rant. I think Caleb Farley should switch positions to free safety learn from an all pro Kevin Byard be the future and redeem himself from being or becoming another bust. The passing defense will be much better this year with a healthy Kristian Fulton, Elijah Molden, Amani Hooker, and the experience Roger McCreary got last year the passing defense should be much better. They are young should have something to prove with all the noise surrounding the group about being the worst group of receivers in the league. I believe Treylon Burks, Kyle Philips, Reggie Roberson, and Racey McMath will be our top 4 receivers when the season starts. We got to have guys up front that pave the way for Derrick to run the ball. I understand the signing of Andre Dillard and Daniel Brunskill. We still have the best running back in the league on our team. So with neither one of the two working out we had to draft an offensive lineman this year. The offensive should have been solid by now with a first round pick of Isaiah Wilson and a second round pick of Dillon Radunz. Question: I think the team signed and drafted players because of previous free agent signings and horrible evaluation of talent that didn't help or benefit the team.
