Amy, your information has been noted and will be passed on to Dr.
Rosenthal, who I am sure will be in touch with him.  No one from LIFE/AFA
has contacted him as we are not the professionals who will be doing the
research.  I really think he would prefer to have a colleague discuss this
with him as opposed to a bunch of lay-people.  LIFE/AFA are only
facilitating the funding for the research, not performing the research.
We would prefer to leave that to the professionals.
