Twitter By Telepathy

Visitors to this blog might like to know they are in good company and that it may not be “all in their heads” as they might have been led to believe. In deference to this recent breakthrough I have compiled a thoughtful (by no means comprehensive) list of who else might be in on it.

Alta Bates Medical Center, Alabama A & M University, Berea College, Carillon Health Systems, City College of San Francisco, Daughters of Charity Health Systems, Florida Department of Health, Hughes, Humboldt State University, Kingston University, Laurentian University, Lehigh University, Loyola Marymount University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Merrimack Education Center, New York Institute of Technology, North Carolina Research & Education, Ohio State University, Pittsburgh State University, St. Bona Venture University, Science Applications International, University of Central Arkansas, Warwickshire College, Sisters of Mercy Health Systems, St. Louis University, Stanford University, State University of New York at Buffalo, and some curious users of the Alabama Supercomputer Network.
