I was at the APHA meeting today in Boston (and I got to meet Revere from Effect Measure at the meeting!). About 14,000 people attend, including a lot of military personnel (between routine public health concerns and biosecurity, there are always a few in the crowd). At one talk that I would guess had around 1,000 people in the audience, maybe more, the speaker said, "I'm having a really good day. How about you?" The audience burst into raucous applause...and the military personnel had very, very large smiles on their faces. Interesting.
