 "Breakthrough: Clues to Healing with Intention" published in Edge Science Magazine, no.2, January/March 2010.

I found these experiences to be quite frustrating, as the experts didn't seem to have their methodological acts in order. And so I, a fledgling researcher in the early stages of graduate training, began to design double blind tests that were far more rigorous than anything the "experts" had prepared for us.
