living life and not giving up and just so appreciative
of everybody in his corner.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Central Ohio primary care man. We have loved that office
in Hillyard. I know they're all around Central Ohio, but
going in to see him and have that regularity in
people that you know and really care about. Yeah, glad,
they're glad they're doing this, and I really hopeful.

Speaker 2 (00:30):

was a good call. Mikayla, we have a caller.

a phone call.

anyone is a face painter, they need your help.

Yes, so they wait in hours long lines to meet
with researchers. I did not know that part. And so
inside the tents they have their photos taken to help
with facial recognition technology, and others walked researchers through their
skincare routines. So scientists are there to study a very
specific cohort, identical twins and multiples like triplets and quadruplets,

(01:29):
and so all these twins attend and it's just so
it's so wild right to see the pictures and they do.
It's a celebration of sorts. I can't everybody's dressed up
in their twin outfits.

Speaker 1 (01:39):

go one year. They completely should.

go talk to people about things.
