Thanks for the offer, and I'll take you up on it.
I appreciate your effort to be comprehensive and up to date with your response and I'd like to offer some help here: when I said "from our perspective", I meant from OUR as divers, as this scientist is not a diver and therefore probably is unaware of the nature of the beast that we have to deal with. So, while I appreciate your desire to give your best shot at this, I want to say that it will suffice at this stage if he gets a general idea of the concept of in- and off gassing and the influence of pressure gradients on this. I trust that he will quickly understand our issues and will be able to apply the concept within his field. Actually, keeping it simple may help keeping him interested. But I will let you be the judge to decide what needs to be covered for a nutritional scientist to get an idea what is happening in our body when we dive.
I have no intention (and not the time ;-)) to parse any language or play any of the games you mention and I would even be happy if you just point me to something similar to what I am looking for that may have already been written.
