My esteemed blogging colleague Ginny Hughes will be presenting at next week's Cold Spring Harbor Personal Genomes meeting (which I, sadly, will not be attending) on genetic testing for psychiatric diseases.

Done!
If she wanted a bigger sample size, she should have started with the question "Do you believe psychiatric diseases are manifestations of evil spirits sent from the Devil?". That should ensure a certain other blogger send his readers there.
One small (serious) criticism: there's no space for "any other comments".
Survey complete, should be a great meeting.
