Most of the credit is given to one man—Lee Edward Travis.
Many were drawn to the Iowa program after hearing Travis speak or reading about the program he developed based on a scientific foundation of the s...

More on pseudoscience and other nonsense
Homeopathy was not invented by hippies of New Age mystics. It was first propounded in 1796 by a German named Samuel Hahnemann. It became popular in the U.S. in the 19th Century, understandably so. As homeopathy does absolutely nothing, it was superior to most medical treatments of the time. There were even homeopathic medical schools. But, in the 20th Century, as scientific understanding of health and disease emerged, homeopathy was discredited by the medical profession and became a fringe practice. Nevertheless it persists. Among the prominent proponents of homeopathy was His Royal Highness Charles, Prince of W...

Diamond and Dybvig and the Panic of 1907
George SelginMy last post argued that, despite whatDiamond and Dybvig ' s famous theory suggests, bank runs have seldom proven fatal to otherwise sound banks. Instead, when people run on a bank, it ' s usually because it ' s already in hot water.In response to that post, a Twitter correspondent wondered whether the Panic of 1907 —the proximate cause of the reform efforts culminating in the Fed ' s establishment —was an exception to my claim, and therefore evidence of the inherent vulnerability of fractional reserve banking. The gist of my two-tweet reply was that it wasn ' t. But since 560 characters hardly allowed me ...

The Story of CPRIT, Part 2: A Problematic Grant
The grant that upset Dr. Gilman so much that he chose to resign was an award of $22 million dollars for one year. The award had been presented to the Oversight Committeee and approved without going through any scientific review. It was a combination award to Rice and to an organization, IACS (Institute for Applied Cancer Science), associated with Lynda Chin, a scientist and wife of the president of M.D. Anderson, Ronald DePinho. Remarkably, the IACS portion of the award had not been reviewed by the provost of either Rice or M.D. Anderson, and after reaching CPRIT, it was rushed through the CPRIT approval process in a very ...
