FUBAR, have you had a chance to speak with Dr. Russell?
A scheduling conflict would greatly worry me. It would tell me that NO PROGRESS has been made from the P.R. to now and that would be some restless news for my personal being. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance being backed up with work, so any update is welcomed.
I can post his phone # here if that is allowed, so someone could reach out to him to get an update? Otherwise, its going to just be a wait and see, but I can't imagine in any possible way that they are NOT going to follow through with the conference call on Friday. It will be interesting to hear FUBAR's advice?
