If the author did do a presentation at the 14th Annual AAVN Clinical Nutrition & Research Symposium, it was done as a poster and not an oral presentation, since he was not on their list of scheduled speakers. We'll have to see if this "study" is ever published anywhere, but I'm not holding my breath...
| Yep, I bet it was a poster as there is NO way a symposium/conference of this nature would ever accept a speaker based upon where this info came from. When I worked at Medtronic, we did a ton of posters of a scientific nature and even those can be tough to get accepted (of course, it's the cardio field where things are probably more stringent than the animal world). And then they probably had a booth like any other vendor, small or large, where they further promoted their, um, "findings".
Frankly, I'd be rather embarrassed to purport these findings at any remotely scientific venue, bc of the nature of the attendees and the subsequent expectation of the scientific method. You'd likely end up a deer in the headlights thinking "oopsie". :rolleyes: |
