That is our Achillies Heel I don't know how many of us here knew about this plan to submit 200+ research proposals to NIH, but I didn't; sounds like an excellent idea. And I suppose I do deserve the scolding for the apathy of not knowing, but the fact is that I belong to no other support groups other than this one - and here is where I get all my PD news [I don't read People]. I should expand the scope of my sources [any suggestions?] but meanwhile how about someone systematically providing us with what's going on? Thanks, Bruce Anderson
