Dr. Melba Ketchum Creates Public Facebook Page And Gives Us Two Old Updates
In preparation for the Bigfoot DNA study that's soon to be published, Dr. Melba Ketchum has set up a public a page on Facebook for the mainstream masses. The benefit to public pages is that you don't have to be their friend to view their status.
Another good reason to have a public page is for Search Engine Optimization purposes where your updates will be picked up internally by Facebook as well as by all major search engines such as Google and Bing.
Here's the first two updates from Dr. Melba Ketchum on her public page:

It's about time she did this.Great idea on her part.
ReplyDeleteI agree SasquaiNation.
Deletelol... a little bit of hype added as people start to question it..... its never coming out guys
ReplyDeleteApril 1st is slowly arriving. That seems the most appropriate day to get the real news on this subject.
Deleteo0
Question. Is it against embargo to say the pub date? Is it against it to say that there is one, but not give a date?
ReplyDeleteNope other science papers have stated at the time of submission which journal was being submitted to, what the paper was called, and what the results were. Why do we not know these things about this report? Because it doesn't exist.
DeleteIf she don't get a new real looking picture up soon we can all just assume she's a bbw at best. Right?
ReplyDeleteIs her proportions somehow related to her intelligence?
DeleteShe sure seems to think so, in that she posts old pictures of herself, rather than a real updated picture. so it must matter to her.
DeleteShe's gained a ton of weight in recent years. No wait, I mean weight, I mean half a ton. Anyway, she weighs about half as much as a female Bigfoot right now. She's more or less a blobsquatch unfortunately.
DeleteI've got a nice frozen crow thawing on the counter. I'll cut you off a big slice in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteA good appropriate response to the Doofi. Is that plural for Doofus,or are they just doofs and can't read?
DeleteHey you stole that.
DeleteDr. Ketchum (catch'em..lol) is a Lovely, Intelligent woman, and just happens to be involved in something wonderous! cut her a lil' slack guys, if nuthin ' else, pertaining to ol' hairy, atleast she is nice to look at...lol.
ReplyDeleteYawn
ReplyDeleteBe nice if she would take the announcements somewhere other than damned facebook. That service has done nothing but collectively dumb down the human race.

DeleteI have a series of questions for Ash Ketchum's sister, Melba. (Pokemon humor) Anyway, maybe someone else can ask her on her public Facebook page because I do not have a Facebook account and I am fighting the pressure to get one. My question is:
ReplyDeleteMelba said that she does not have a date for the publication of her paper, but at the same time she also said that the paper will not be published on Thursday. How does she know that the date is not Thursday if she does not know the date? Does she know a range of possible dates - with Thursday not being one of the dates in this range? Would it be against the rules to give the range of possible dates on which the paper could be published?
She will know when she is told by the Journal. Was not told so NO, not last Thursday. Not that hard to understand - or is it?
ReplyDeleteShe said next Thursday, not last Thursday. I understand it, I just want further clarification. You don't have to ask her if you don't want to. I was just asking for anyone who wanted to ask her.
DeleteSo I thought Dr. Melba wasn't doing teasers, at least according to her PR person she wasn't. Also, you can go to any number of professor's websites from major institutions and see lists of papers currently under peer review that list the title of the paper and the journal to which the paper was submitted. There doesn't seem to be an embargo amongst academics.
ReplyDeleteSpend a few minutes surfing, and it's amazing what you can come up with in regards to papers that are under peer review that state they are under peer review and which journal. For instance:
DeletePentland and researcher Nathan Eagle developed social-network models that were more accurate and more nuanced than those constructed from the subjects' self-reports. A paper on the study is currently under review at the journal Nature.
Do the search yourself. This embargo is bunk.
It is much in advance of publicationand if in place she would know the date.
DeleteSo, the Ok is there but no date or embargo,the secrecy from the beginning debated, now long over due.
losing credibility yes
On Face Book she says there have been "killings,"
ready for this drama queen to step off the throne
Most academics aren't trying to validate the existence of a creature which most scientists believe is not only false, but whom belief in which is a sign of mental illness.
ReplyDeleteSurely, we can allow for the possibility of more stringent and rigorous procedures (self imposed and obligatory) for a finding such as this?
In any event, I don't think we have long to wait. The Olympic Project updating their site, the Ericson project website coming back on, all of the major players starting to sing Ketchum, et al's, praises, new facebook page, etc.
Lots of little clues that we are near to the great revelation or great disappointment.
Unfortunately, I am leaning towards great disappointment. The study will come out in a journal that no one has ever heard of, make a small splash in the press, and then ride off into the sunset. The press will interview talking heads, and most will say they haven't seen the study, so they can't comment on the results. The whole thing will usurped by the next celebrity death, and once other scientists finish their review, we will never know the true outcome of the study.
DeleteWow, that totally makes sense. I think you are seeing this totally clear anon at 10:47. John
Deleteor usurped by Finding Bigfoot and Justin Smeja
Deleteditto...many out there in the bigfoot community dont seem to be holding their "breath" so to speak to much over this study...it may seem like they are, but behind "closed doors" many opinions are otherwise...their has been too much junk and folks who have "cried wolf" in the past about this kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteSuch pessimism from such small minds, you guys really have no clue. Since this is big news literally, it will of course come out in a well known and respected journal. TV will also have a field day literally, of course they will. It's funny that, until the subject of Bigfoot became the media frenzy it's become in the last few decades, people have become increasingly less patient where patience used to be alpha omega for the researchers in the olden days. Now with instant news everywhere, all the clowns with no clue start popping their little irritating heads out of every woodwork. LOL Just relax men, we're not talking new monkey species here but this business of proving a new hominid species (actually it's more than that, if you catch my drift) has simply taken this long. It looks like this year is the year, so what's all the hurry now all of a sudden? Bottom line is it's coming and hopefully within the year, so pay no attention to the naysayers. You will see it, it will be definite proof that will convince you. It will also blow your mind and drop your jaw, probably.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad, but they won't accept it without a body. We already live in the age of Idiocracy, the signs are everywhere. You expect the huge hunk of our population that still believes in Creationism will accept that there is another creature on this planet smart enough to remain elusive, as long as they have, based on DNA results. They may believe the world is only 3000 years old, but they are often wealthy folks with a bit of pull. I know this is a bit of a rant, but don't be mad that people are trying to look at this subject realistically. We are a minority as people who believe in even the possibility of existence. John
DeleteThey'll just have to, won't they. If science at long last finally give the Sasquatch the seal of approval, which is what all the naysayers have been barking for anyway, then it will be the remaining lunatic fringe (no matter their numbers) who'll be laughed at. Strange isn't it, they can believe in an invisible God in the sky without visual or physical proof, but they won't believe what science says. And who says there's no body, there is of sorts in the infamous steak, that's flesh thus a body part. They'd believe it if someone came forward and said he had a piece of Jesus' butt in a jar, watch them all come worshipping that if displayed. LOL Yet science they won't believe, that should tell you it matters little in the end what they think. As long as the rest of us in the sane part of the population know.

Description of Work: A film and/or documentary, narration or audio book, supporting photos and literary paper/document/book that will follow the The Sasquatch Project, the scientist and the scientific testing and proof for the existence of Sasquatch/ Bigfoot. Information will include discussion of results including A New Tribe of Living Humans, the complete Sasquatch mitochondrial genome sequence and nuclear DNA variations and text will show complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequences were identified from DNA, analysis of the assembled sequence unequivocally establishes that the Sasquatch mtDNA falls inside the range of modern human mtDNAs and discussions of the origins thereof. The proof that the Sasquatch is not only the closest living human relative but is actually a contemporary living human. Also discussed is nuclear DNA testing performed on the same samples and the variations found in various genes including MC1R gene RUNX2 and FOXP2 as well as other targets genes involved in the perception of sound, transmission of nerve signals, the production of sperm and the lactase gene. Also discussed is how testing has ruled out ape cross and any ancient contributor and that Sasquatch is indeed a modern human with some genetic mutations accounting for their physical appearance. Also included are discussion of the history of samples and circumstances surrounding the acquisition, their testing, the circumstances surrounding the entire Sasquatch DNA Project.
