but I must warn you that the rest of this article doesn't seem to fit what the researcher told me when I talked with her and viewed her charts and graphs

Didn't know whether to post it, but decided some well-meaning person might send it /bring it to your attention without my caveat.

Feel free to try to view the poster itself, if it is online in its entirety already
