Default Stunning Studies by citizen-scientist extra-ordinaire Reverett123.

Just in case you missed it: check out Reverett123's web site, and conversations here. An education awaits you.

Stunning Studies by citizen-scientist extra-ordinaire Reverett123.

We always knew he was way above our heads, but we never knew by how much. And we didn’t understand that he was a Do-It-Yourself scientist, years before Science Magazine declared DIY to be the big new wave of the future.

One of Rick’s countless discussions on the Forum is here:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread185599.html

And then there is his website that we never knew about:
A Matter of Balance.
http://amatterofbalance.wordpress.com/

For more 100% pure Rick, find more of his discussions on this Forum this way: - (lots of people are unaware of some of the site features)

Click on Reverett123’s name in any thread where you find it, just above his photo / avatar. A box will pop up – click on View Public Profile. Another page will appear. In the middle, click on Statistics. Click on “Find all posts for Reverett123.”

3,500 posts.
Only three people understand them all, two of whom live in a cave in Tibet and don’t speak English – this is very original thinking about Parkinson’s, written with humour and flare and research and serious thinking that is not really thinking outside the box, because it was created with no concept of “boxes”, just as in the Inuktitut language there is no word for “war” because they have no concept of it. They did not free themselves from it; they simply never heard of such a thing. So it is with Rick’s creative scientific mind. Never was boxed in; would not understand the concept of being boxed in.

Rick, are you gonna’ start a new thread as a “PD this week thread”? I am too irresponsible to take on any such task. For example, what method is there for determining if a week has gone by, when you have no sense of time?
Rick, do an e-book !

Your honour, I rest my case.

Aw, shucks, Bob! But, tell us how you really feel!
Seriously, thank you for the kind words. But what do I do now? One of the reasons that PD is still around is the way that it saps our drive and leaves us exhausted. But I will soldier on as the gates of Moscow recede behind the horizon. (For those who don't know what I am talking about it is an off-the-wall reference to the time when Napolean saw no reason to permit a little bad weather stand between himself and conquering the world. Some of his troops actually made it back to Paris....). Maybe some bright young grad student will take note and change medical history.

Cut and paste from everything you have written. Slices of it. Including the zanier ones. Never mind heavy editing or sequence of material. Let reader be D-I-Y editor. Connect some items with a few of your patented statements. Let your character shine through, so it is science + wit +human + interrogation of man's fate in the universe, all anchored by the science and art of probing this mysterious condition, and our position as canaries in a coal mine.

publish as e-book
turn off chain saw
remove goalie mask
As you were, soldier.
