Symptoms Update - Shoe wear and 'skid marks'

I think I've spotted the next part of my symptoms. A look at my shoes shows that the heel is starting to be pushed outwards. I think this means that my gait must be changing. Interestingly it is noticeable on my left shoe more than my right shoe. The effect is slight, and I've had these shoes for a while.

Just thinking, if my heels are starting to poke out, I suppose that my knees must be getting closer together. I base this supposition on the scenario that its a walking thing, each step pushes my weight out and I dont think that my feet are further apart. I cant work out if my toes are pointing in more, and I'll need to do some more observing.

I'll also keep a lookout on my other pairs of shoes, as it's just one pair at the moment.

Also, on a similar front, I've noticed that I now have 'skid marks' on the cill of my car door where my right foot has slid over rather than me lifting it over after sitting down. I've only just noticed these marks, which perhaps suggests that its a fairly recent thing, having had the car for getting on for four years.

Overall, My conclusion is that my symptoms are starting to progress, and my wife has also noticed that my walking appears more difficult when I am tired or carrying heavy weights (3 year old boy sized). I wonder how long I'll be able to claim "no significant symptoms"....

Researchers - Most published

OK, a bit more number crunching on the papers I downloaded. There are over 2500 researchers who have contributed to the 589 different papers - so that's on average some 4-5 people per paper. A list of 2500 researchers would be a silly thing to put here, so I've limited as follows:
* Anyone who has been an author on 10 or more papers
* Anyone who has been an author on 5 or more papers when the most recent paper is 2010 or later
* Anyone who has been an author when the most recent paper is in 2012

This gives 103 researchers, sorted by papers, last year, then name.

I haven't yet worked out how to convert the funny characters into proper letters. A later (potential) task for another day is to find a biography of each.
