EP-ology by Carl V. Phillips. Agent-based model of THR adoption (and basic case for THR from City Health 2012). I recently presented a talk on tobacco harm reduction at the City Health 2012. Conference in London. I believe that a video of the actual presentation and ensuing discussion will appear on their website eventually (and I will update this post to link to it). In the meantime I recorded a voiceover version of the slideshow:. Interacting influences, but under the hood, it is still based on project...

Random rant about denominator-free statistics. Not particularly relevant to anything, but offering a chance for a random science lesson, I got really annoyed at a couple of items in my twitter feed over the last few minutes. In which the tweet was ridiculing the claims) linked to this. Obviously it is people who are su...

EP-ology by Carl V. Phillips. Enstrom sues UCLA "School" of Public Health - seems like a sure win. I just learned that my friend (still true, though we have not talked in a while) Jim Enstrom is suing his former employer for unlawful termination and such, and has the backing of a legal foundation. That is great news, considering how appalling the story is (even worse than my own? Probably, yes.). I will summarize a bit, but you can read more here. Are still some of the most-read on this blog).

EP-ology by Carl V. Phillips. Models v. Mechanisms at FDA Center for Tobacco Products. But if you were to suggest to the people working in the FDA orbit that they do not really have a model of people's choices about tobacco products (as I have argued), they would probably reply that they do.

EP-ology by Carl V. Phillips. My take on the recent UK NICE Guidance on tobacco harm reduction. The following is my take on the recent UK National Institute for Health Care Excellence (NICE) Guidance on “Tobacco: harm-reduction [sic] approaches to smoking”.

EP-ology by Carl V. Phillips. My "health effects of wind turbines" paper, unpaywalled #pdftribute. In honor of the #pdftribute campaign for Aaron Swartz. I am breaking the paywall and making that paper freely available here. He was a true champion for making information that is part of our common heritage (and paid for by all of us) available to all of us. And, sadly, apparently also an example of the toll that depression takes on many people with great vision. Links to this post. Dr Stan Glantz has post...
