Background In March 2014 I wrote a
two-part series for Exploration Insights titled “Top 10 Signs of a Bogus NI

Carlsbad, California. The presentation went well until the end. Steve Todoruk
asked me what percentage of posted studies is actually bogus. I made what I

 The
subject haunted me from that day. So, having some time on my hands, and looking
for a way to promote my services, I decided to find out.
