I could go on easily about personal joint research, including gastronomy and enology in Strasbourg, Paris, Dublin, and New York. However, for this scientific meeting, a critical comparative review seems more appropriate.

I submit that his closest rival is clearly Stephen Feinberg and propose a comparison using Google’s Ngram Viewer, itself based on the vast archive of Google books.
