Default A problem of design?

I looked over the bios of the scietific advisers while I was there and was a little dismayed. Of the two dozen or so, I am sure that most are good folk but there were several with conflicts as employees of Big Pharma. Most disturbing, however, was the total dominance by neurologists? What if, as looks more and more likely, PD is not strictly neurological? No immunologists? Endocrinologists? GI guys? Anyone up on Carvey's work on pre-natal immune response? Do they know of our stress sensitivity? The role of gut peptides? No matter how professional you are, if you don't know the questions then your answers will be incomplete.
