        .@sapinker You've got the stylish hair, but studying under you and knowing @dropeik, I don't even have to ask the results

        Results in a month. I expect neither of us registered much change. At least SP hid his disappointment well

        .@dropeik @sapinker You may be surprised. But TBH I was just making a silly quip abt baseline levels, not test conditions

        yeah, we're pretty sure the results won't be publishable and that our protocols wouldn't stand up to peer review

        David is balder, which suggests he's likely to have a higher proportion of T

        T levels are definitely going to spike, assuming the team you're rooting for wins.
