Over 50! And counting

two of the website references above cite 14 and 13 studies, respectively, under the projects conducted by California and Ohio (TTBR and EVEREST).

thanks for commenting on this, Meryl Ann.  I thought I snuck it on (no headline, no email announcement)... ha ha ha... but you found it.

;-)

(oy, talk about work... we even read them.)
