My one peer reviewed paper is being trashed. Lord have mercy.
What makes it worse is those attacking it are my friends. Snow would say friends don’t let friends do bad science.
There goes my shot at a tenure track professorship. Oh well, I still have a commercial fishing license and CA commercial salmon permit. Back to my roots.
I still think my Cooper bill was high and dry on Thanksgiving 1971.

heh.
Okay we're in court. Your client was caught with $10,000 with cocaine traces on it.
I was brought in as a research specialist for the defense.
I point out that
'In a study reported in Forensic Science International, A.J. Jenkins, at the Office of the Cuyahoga County Coroner (Cleveland, OH), the author reports the analysis of ten randomly collected one-dollar bills from five cities, and tested for cocaine, heroin, 6-acetylmorphine (also called "6-AM"), morphine, codeine, methamphetamine, amphetamine and phencyclidine (PCP). Bills were then immersed in acetonitrile for two hours prior to extraction and subjected to Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Results demonstrated that "92% of the bills were positive for cocaine with a mean amount of 28.75 ± 139.07 micrograms per bill, a median of 1.37 μg per bill, and a range of 0.01-922.72 μg per bill. Heroin was detected in seven bills in amounts ranging from 0.03 to 168.5 μg per bill: 6-AM and morphine were detected in three bills; methamphetamine and amphetamine in three and one bills, respectively, and PCP was detected in two bills in amounts of 0.78 and 1.87 μg per bill. Codeine was not detected in any of the one-dollar bills analyzed". The study confirmed that although paper currency was most often contaminated with cocaine, other drugs of abuse may also be detected in bills.'

The prosecutor countered with a diatom analysis of the bills, but we successfully countered with the diatom analysis of 1963A and 1969 circulated bills not connected to Cooper that was done by Dr. Dr. Snowmman.
