Hi Rolfe, this sounds like an interesting idea. Is there a way to take the idea down to a level that more of the public can understand? The pitch you gave here is a mouthful :-) and we want to be able to attract people to read it. Paul On Sun, Jun 23, 2019 at 3:43 PM Rolfe DH <rolfedh(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > > Hi Everyone.

This is great, thank you for the abstract! We have an editors meeting shortly and I'm sure we can approve a pitch like this.

Yes, I'm still interested. I'm having some uncertainty about the topic and don't want to embarrass myself. It would help to bring in an SME to review/discuss the information. I have someone in mind, and would also welcome any suggestions.
