I took a year sabbatical in 2008 and it was one of the highlights of my life. I backpacked through parts of India, South America and Africa. I had a very strong desire to travel and see more of the world so it fulfilled that need for me (wi

This is an excellent question (and reading through those articles now, thank you). I know she thinks about this a lot because her patients bring her research which is obviously broken, but why should they trust her? In her specific case she

My wife and I were just talking about this yesterday. She is an extremely specialized surgeon and she is horrified by the academic publishing in her area of expertise. It is often utterly wrong and conflicts directly with her experience. I&

One of my children is in 5th grade in a school that is well known for a rigorous education. She does well, probably the top student or at least one of the top in her year, but I find that her lack of understanding of what she is studying is

Deva is deep into writing part 3 at the moment (the physicians husband here) where she reviews these trials, what they mean and how they should be interpreted. I think she will be finished soon.
