Top Experts in Turkey Research

PALO ALTO, Calif. - Nov. 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Gobble Gobble! With Thanksgiving upon us, Expertscape would like to break away from healthcare for a moment to recognize those that dedicate themselves to the bird at the center of the Thanksgiving holiday - the noble turkey. As Americans by the millions gather with family and friends to enjoy this national holiday, we would like to remind our fellow citizens that, if Benjamin Franklin had his way, it would be our national emblem as well as tomorrow’s main course.

On this Thanksgiving, Expertscape is pleased to report that the United States is a global powerhouse in turkey research, and these five individuals and institutions in particular (http://www.expertscape.com/leaders/turkeys) have made a particular contribution to our national holiday:

We would like to take this moment to wish everyone a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving! Expertscape will return to our normal healthcare reporting on Friday as soon as the tryptophan wears off. Incidentally, Wikipedia reports that “the amount of tryptophan in turkey is typical of most poultry.” (We bet that our experts already knew that…)
