have used your 20 to leverage 12 and the University owes me 5 in two
months, so the money is all set
spent Friday with Dan Lieberman at Harvard and his cohorts, all of whom
are experts on human locomotion and, in particular possible spinal
adaptations
his best man on lumbar curvature was thereiehthey doubt that lumbar
curvature is helpful in short sprints but we all agree that is is time to
find out, and we have the right sample
measurement is another matter, cat scans too costly, X-rays to invasive so
it is more (female) hands on measurements of spinal curvature

as i have always said, the key is the final genetic stage
we have now surveyed the sports literature which is extensive but with
typically small sample sizes (8-12)'141/2their chief value is to isolate
possible variables of interest, to which genetic variants can be attached
we want a —40 loci chip to look at athletes and controls
It%
more late
and warmest best wishes, as always
