Perhaps the most important issue to emerge from our interviews with academics, scientists from advocacy organizations, and study participants is that it is desirable to set expectations for any exposure assessment or biomonitoring study before commencing data collection and setting up results communication protocols.
Last night, top-quality works tended to sell far above expectations; less desirable ones were dismissed in short order.
