''Dear Professor Lenski''

  We are writing in regards to your recent experiment with cit+ development in observed E. coli populations.  We were wondering if you would oblige us by sending the relevant raw data from your observations during the period in which the bacteria population developed the ability to utilize citrase.  We are intensely curious about that information.  If it will be made available through some other venue and you wish to direct us to that instead, then we would very much like to be made aware of that.

Is that a reasonable request?  I am afraid biology protocol is quite beyond me, so some help would be appreciated.--[[user:TomMoore|<font color="#000066" >Tom Moore</font>]]^{[[User talk:TomMoore|fiat justitia ruat coelum]]} 22:47, 15 June 2008 (EDT)
