1/ Wow -- it's been quite a week! I announced the #LMHRstudy six days ago. And in case you missed it -- visit here for more details:

CitizenScienceFoundation.org/study

I'm going to provide some updates and answers to frequent questions of the last several days...

2/ "Dave, can you get me in the study?"

No! You have to contact Lundquist directly through the proper channels and they will decide based on the study design whether you qualify as prescribed by existing eligibility criteria we all determined in advance.

3/ While myself, @DrNadolsky and @DrRagnar developed the protocol in collaboration Lundquist, we in no way can (or should) influence any decision making regarding individual considerations -- and that's a good thing. We want this study as fair and objective as possible.

4/ "Is this USA only or can participants from other countries apply?"

This study is USA only. We may have sister studies in other countries in the future, but that is currently complicated by the pandemic, of course.

5/ "When will we hear the results?"

While we can't say for sure – I'd conservatively ballpark two years from now. We will have many months of recruitment and bookings, and only after the last participant is scanned and returns a year later can comparison analysis begin for all..

6/ ... Then there is writing the paper, then submission for publication. Both of these can be many months depending on a number of things.

But while that might seem like a long time to some, just remember -- I literally pitched this for the first time 2 years ago this October...

7/ ... In other words, a glass-half-full perspective is that we're halfway there.

Regardless, I hope everyone can appreciate the true value of this data and why it's been so important we do our best to capture it as effectively and objectively as we reasonably can.
