Mathematics is the new science of medicine
The progression of science in medicine has been as remarkable as it is relentless. From alchemy, chants, purges, and leeches, medicine has progressed to a deep understanding of human form and function through biology, anatomy, and physiology. Continue reading ...

Direct Access Testing: Putting Consumers in the Driver’s Seat
Angela Young knew something was wrong. She hadn’t felt well for months but didn’t know what was going on. Her doctor ran tests for immune problems and endocrine issues. They all came back normal. Finally, Angela went to an independent direct access testing (“DAT”) laboratory and had them run some additional tests, including a test for something she suspected, but her doctor didn’t want to test her for: Lyme disease. When the Lyme disease test came back positive, she was relieved, because finally she knew what was wrong, could seek treatment and begin to get healthy again. Michael S. is a typical 55 year o...

Northwestern Upholds its "Brand," Never Mind Free Speech and Academic Freedom
Threats to free speech and academic freedom in health care were a major concern when we started Health Care Renewal.  Such threats may now be less anechoic, but do not seem to have diminished.Censorship and the Resignation of Alice Dreger The latest example was at Northwestern University. The basics of the case appeared in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Alice Dreger just resigned her position of 10 years as "a clinical professor of medical humanities and bioethics."What prompted her departure was the fallout over an article by William Peace, who at the time was a visiting professor in the humanities at Syracuse U...

Eagle Claw and Honey Badger
“As health concerns for former President Carter mount,” Caleb Brown noted recently in this space, “it’s nice to be able to look back on his time in the White House and see something remarkably positive.” Indeed, our 39th president doesn’t remotely merit the bad rap he gets from conservatives and libertarians. As I wrote a few years back, “at its best, the Carter legacy was one of workaday reforms that made significant improvements in American life: cheaper travel and cheaper goods for the middle class.” For loosening controls on oil, trucking, railroads, and airlines, he should, Daniel Bier suggests,...

You Ought to Have a Look: Publication Bias
You Ought to Have a Look is a feature from the Center for the Study of Science posted by Patrick J. Michaels and Paul C. (“Chip”) Knappenberger.  While this section will feature all of the areas of interest that we are emphasizing, the prominence of the climate issue is driving a tremendous amount of web traffic.  Here we post a few of the best in recent days, along with our color commentary. A couple of interesting pieces have come recently to our attention that deal with the serious issue of “publication bias” in science. In our Cato Working Paper No. 29, we describe “publication bias” as an underreporting ...

"The Oxford Botanic Garden — a cool, quiet wonderland. Oxford was once home to Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a mathematics lecturer at Christ Church, the largest college at @oxford_uni. Charles was a brilliant logician and a deacon in the Church of England, but you probably know him best by his pen name, Lewis Carroll. The fantastical world of "Alice in Wonderland" — written for Alice, the 10-year-old daughter of the college's dean — is rooted in Oxford. The public garden that comes closest to realizing Alice's dream of wandering "among those beds of bright flowers" is the Oxford Botanic Garden. Follow @nytimestravel to ...

An open letter to The Lancet, again
On November 13th, five colleagues and I released an open letter to The Lancet and editor Richard Horton about the PACE trial, which the journal published in 2011. The study’s reported findings–that cognitive behavior therapy and graded exercise therapy are effective treatments for chronic fatigue syndrome–have had enormous influence on clinical guidelines for the illness. Last October, Virology Blog published David Tuller’s investigative report on the PACE study’s indefensible methodological lapses. Citing these problems, we noted in the letter that “such flaws have no place in publis...

"A mother walking with her child in Harlem. On August 8, 1966, @nytimes ran a story that said many #Harlem residents wished more white people would visit the neighborhood to see it for themselves. The article detailed the Harlem of 1966 in an almost anthropological way. Don Hogan Charles — who was then 27 years old and the first black photographer hired by @nytimes — was assigned to spend a weekend photographing the neighborhood, where he lived. Only 4 of Don's images made it into the paper. In the hundreds of other photographs that he shot, which we found the negatives to in our #archives, a fuller portrait of the nei...

"Children played in front of an apartment complex in #Harlem. In 1966, the @nytimes photographer Don Hogan Charles, then 27 years old, was assigned to spend a weekend photographing Harlem, where he lived. Don, the first black photographer hired by @nytimes, had less than 2 days to complete his #nytassignment, but his images — 4 of which made it into print — offer a fuller portrait of the neighborhood and his neighbors than the text they accompanied. The residents of Don Hogan Charles's Harlem are fully rounded people, not caricatures, symbols or subjects to be studied. We'll be sharing more of Don's photos this #nytwee...

From elite social clubs to personal atonement: The history of the formation of Consolation House.
Private and elite clubs were vehicles of socialization and business transaction during the Gilded Age.  Clubs were often restricted in membership and members were highly scrutinized before being offered the opportunity to join. The Tavern Club in Boston is one example of an elite social club.  It was established in 1884 and was a gathering place where the members were focused on fine dining, lectures, and the arts.  Notable members included Charles Eliot Norton, William Dean Howells, and Henry Cabot Lodge.  Herndon (1892) described the club as "an organization of good fellows, mostly artists, music...

"3-year-old Amiya Brunet sat on the bridge the leads to her family's home on Isle de Jean Charles, in Louisiana. During storms, the house fills with up to a foot of mud. Amiya's parents, Keith Brunet and Keisha McGehee, want to leave. Keith, who has worked as an oysterman, a fisherman and a tugboat captain, grew up on the island. "It's hard to move when you've lived here all your life, but I've got to look to my kids' future," he said. Earlier this year, @hudgov announced a $48 million grant for Isle de Jean Charles — the first allocation of federal tax dollars to move an entire community that is struggling with the impa...

"An abandoned boat in front of the home of Marq Naquin and Ochxia Naquin, who live on Isle de Jean Charles in Louisiana. For over a century, American Indians on the island fished, hunted, trapped and farmed among the lush banana and pecan trees that once covered acres. But since 1955, more than 90% of the island's original land mass has washed away. Because of the impacts of #climatechange, a $48 million federal grant has been allocated to resettle the island's residents. The location of the new community has yet to be chosen, and moving is voluntary. Marq and Ochxia say they plan to stay — and they aren't alone. Attachm...

""Welcome to 'Paramour,' or as I like to call it, 'A.D.H.D.! The Musical,' writes @nytimes theater critic Charles Isherwood of the show's opening at @lyricbroadway. The show features a story, set in old Hollywood, that adds the @cirquedusoleil's usual circus acts to a traditional musical. Conceived and directed by Philippe Decouflé, the production pays lavish, if often ludicrous, homage to the "Golden Age" of Hollywood. "The resulting show, I'm sorry to say, achieves the singular feat of being simultaneously frenetic and tedious," Charles continues. The staff photographer Sara Krulwich captured this scene at last night's ...
