I'm afraid that I wasn't part of that particular experiment - my specialty is more the mechanical side of things, rather than biological - so I can't speak for it's lack of follow-through.

[There is the little fact that it was a complete clusterfuck, but let's not.]

What I do know, however, is that Dist is working hard to build upon the results obtained, although if you want any of the particulars you'll have to ask him.
