Hobbyist-level but longtime.
The UV data is easy to come by, but PD is another matter.
I just found Dr. Lieberman's data at

http://www.amazon.com/Shaking-Up-Par...der_0763718661

and I must say that the data is better than expected. The NPF actually persuaded the Pharmas to part with their data on Sinemet sales! And you want to know what state has the lowest PD? Sunny Hawaii!

What a good idea!
