Also it was good to see copies of the green booklet from the Journal of Health Psychology scattered about. I have dropped a line to the editor,...
You might want to write to them, and, out of courtesy perhaps (what's the appropriate smiley to pick?), send a copy to your own MP - the one that...
Actually if you look at the files released from Kew, you will see that they were using the "we're ready to accept any worthwhile biomedical study"...
