What Is “ New Car Smell, ” and Is It Unhealthy? (Yes!)
What is “new car smell” and is it bad for you? As I shopped for a new car last year, I realized that my priorities were considered odd by most car salesmen. The three most important characteristics I desired in a new car were good gas mileage, good crash safety, and relatively low concentrations of […] The post What Is “New Car Smell,” and Is It Unhealthy?

A Powerful Partnership: AI and Humans Take on Healthcare Challenges
The following is a guest article by Christopher Larkin, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Concord Technologies. Artificial intelligence (AI) is pervasive in our daily decisions. We are assisted by AI-powered solutions that map optimal travel routes, deliver targeted online search results, manage vital banking functions, and even guide our driving.  Healthcare is another area that has become increasingly influenced using data and algorithms that make human-like conclusions. While much of medicine was once bogged down by legacy systems and paper files, the widespread digitization of records has streamlined processes a...

Know Your Data and How You ’ ll Use It
Many healthcare organizations are taking a fresh look at their data, hoping to exploit it better for both clinical outcomes and operations. To the experts at Clearsense, the problems are not so much the shortage of data experts or lack of motivation, but rushing to use data without preparing it adequately or knowing what your business needs are. Charles Boicey, Chief Innovation Officer at Clearsense, calls on organizations to base decisions not just on traditional clinical data, but “everything that puts out a signal within the health care organization,” including devices, information from the home, and even so...

Rethinking Medication and Information Technology
Previous articles in this series looked at barriers to taking medication and possible solutions, including special conditions that produce challenges. This final article in the series turns the question on its head. Can patients get better without the medications? Dr. Omar Manejwala, CMO of DarioHealth, goes so far as to use the terms “paternalistic” and “infantilizing” to label claims that people fail to take medication solely out of ignorance or forgetfulness. To all the other factors that hold people back from taking their meds, he adds social and religious factors, concerns about side effects an...

Proposed FDA Guidance on Financial Disclosure and the Physician Payment Sunshine Regulations – Divergent Paths and Duplicated Efforts
Conclusion  The increased regulation and requirements to disclose FCOIs creates a tremendous burden for researchers and institutions that are repetitive, overlapping but not-identical, and time-consuming.  Nevertheless, institutions that receive PHS funding can manage FCOIs in a number of ways: (1) public disclosure of the FCOI (e.g., when presenting or publishing the research); (2) disclosure of the FCOI directly to human participants; (3) appointment of an independent monitor capable of taking measures to protect the design, conduct, and reporting of the research against bias resulting from the FCOI; (4) modification ...

COVID-19: Keys to Long-term Recovery
The COVID-19 virus has impacted and will continue to impact every aspect of our lives. Fortunately, we can get a head start on successful recovery from these effects by taking lessons from people who are grieving and those who are battling substance abuse. At first glance, this may seem an unusual comparison. Maybe losing loved ones to the pandemic ties into grief support, but how can economic and social turmoil be calmed by that? How can sobriety, long-term or not, be remotely related to any of these subjects? It turns out the three are closely related in coping strategies and systematic approaches required for our world...

When is disclosure not disclosure?
WHEN IS DISCLOSURE NOT DISCLOSURE? Hint: When it is made by the Chairman of the DSM-5 Task Force.Here is a case study in conflict of interest (COI). A remarkable confession has just appeared by a group of 5 prominent academics, writing in the journal JAMA Psychiatry. Having been outed to the Editors, they now admit to concealing pertinent financial information. One of the five is David J. Kupfer, MD, chairman of the DSM-5 Task Force and past chairman of the department of psychiatry at The University of Pittsburgh. The others are from Pittsburgh, Minnesota, and Chicago.With millions in funding from NIMH, these folks have be...

Airport Pirates Find Bounty in a College Student's Life Savings
Today, our friends at the Institute for Justice launched a new challenge to yet another instance of egregious civil asset forfeiture abuse. Charles Clarke is a 24-year-old college student who found out the hard way that government officials can confiscate property on the mere suspicion that it has a “substantial connection” to a crime or is the proceeds of a crime. No underlying conviction is required. Functionally, this means that officers can claim that “something was a little off” about your behavior, or that “something smells a little like drugs” and then have carte blanche to take whatever cash you have on...

Nat Is Okay
I have been having a very hard time managing my feelings about what happened to Nat in July. I think about whether he is happy or okay very often. I have nightmares. I talk about it too much. It’s because I feel that I didn’t protect him well enough and I don’t know how to move forward. But even more, I am so worried about how Nat has internalized all that happened to him. How does someone who has a communication challenge like his talk through and make sense of trauma? So I went to see my old therapist. She had the idea that I make a Nat book for him, just like I did when he was a really little guy and n...

A Response to Scott Alexander
Scott Alexander (SA) has providedadvice to the free speech movement in general and to a student group at Harvard University in particular. If you want more people, especially on the liberal left or within the social justice movement, to support free speech, he says, then you should not invite speakers just because they are controversial.SA picks AEI scholar and social scientist Charles Murray as an example. In March, protesting students at Middlebury College shut down Murray when he was invited to speak and debate a local professor. SA defends Murray ’s right to speak, but says that if a college invites him or any other ...
