I am trying to say, "from my investigations, I discovered" but I wasn't sure if you used desde (or maybe después?) for it. Thanks

de mis investigaciones .....

I guess you could use después but it really would be in the context of afterward, or later whereas desde could be use in terms of since like: desde que (since)... I am sure the gurus will weigh in soon on this. In the meantime, I hope this helps a little to start you in the right direction. smile

Thanks for all the responses, I think that "de mis investigaciones" fits in best with what I say next (because I start talking in past tense). Though "mis investigaciones muestran..." made a lot of sense too. Thanks again!

It depends truly on how you format the sentence and the sentences that surround it.
