Neanderthal Extern Loose in Washington, D.C!!!
Be on the look out for a Neanderthal AVMA Extern sporting a Colorado State Veterinary Medicine shoulder bag, suit and tie. He has been seen frequently roaming the area the House and Senate buildings near the Capitol, the Library of Congress, many of the Smithsonian museums (from which we think he escaped), the special propaganda exhibit at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Dupont Circle, and all over the Metro subway system. 
He particularly favors the Darwin Special Exhibit currently going on at the Natural History Museum and is believed to be attempting to evolve before our very eyes. He is not particularly dangerous, but if found, he may launch into a short diatribe regarding antimicrobial resistance and something on the Hill known as PAMTA, veterinary medical loan repayment programs that aren’t yet tax exempt (AHHHHH!), and something called the veterinary services investment act.
Please Note: Neanderthal Extern would like you to know that veterinarians can THIS YEAR, for the first time, apply for veterinary medical loan repayment. See the USDA application instructions and designated underserved areas that are eligible for repayment. New grads, this is an awesome opportunity to get up to $75,000 of your loans repaid. Who knows, you may even be working in one of these areas already…even the Neanderthal Extern knows that Free Money is the best kind of money. So apply now!
P.S. If you want to see yourself as a Neanderthal, check out the iPhone app MEanderthal. Is there anything the iPhone doesn’t do?
