I would've also suggested Dr Ken Olden, former director (1991-2004) of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS).

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like
you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is magnificent blog.
A great read. I'll definitely be back.

I've been surfing online more than three hours as of late, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is lovely value sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content material as you did, the net will likely be a lot more helpful than ever before.
