Plenty of chatter in the papers and we have seen that before now waiting until they are calling me in for testing has the psycho crowd worried so no bad thing there then.
Having researchers of such renown gives a credibility that has long been a bugbear of medical research in this field, how difficult it has been to get high quality biological studies like this off the ground must change in future.

(Medical Research Council) in 2011- very little very late.
