I got an email today:
[it said]
. The discussion concerning acceptance of the formula
money has been tabled indefinitely. "It is probably not in keeping with our
mission at this time." a quote.
Morals of the story:
1. Powerful people can be educated.
2. Persistence pays off.
3. Lobby where you can for support {it wasn't just my letters, it was the
people that agreed with them that made the difference}
4. Know your research and how to access it for references.
5. Remain cordial at all times [compose yourself -THEN compose the letter]
6. Have a personal resource - like Lactnet - of people who believe in
what you believe in for moral support.
Thanks Everybody.
