Labor force participation is down with the recent recovery. What are these people doing? Looks like school (encouraging)

Charlie wheelan hits it out of the park - again

First off, n=41 (grain of salt)

Reminders were baked into an electronic dosage device.
AM routine missed fewer days, but that was through making up for it by taking meds at off-hours. I'm unsure of the gravity of this...seems better to take at the wrong hour than to miss a dose entirely.
Overall, adherence (if defined as taking the Rx at the right time) was the same between the two groups. If defines as taking the med on that day, morning was better.

Storyboards may be a more useful way to consume a userstory

Great for storyboarding

Table contains entropy of hydration for a number of solutes

Get this once I get a mobile phone. Definitely worth a try

Intent-to-treat studies show no stat sig effect

family fixed effects are a third variable in the spurious relationship between education and health

Behavior change in medicine

Shocking #s about diarrhea: 30-50% of Indian mothers answer "Reduce" when asked how much water to give their child with diarrhea.

This is a great example about how intuition can be mistaken. Their mental model - don't put water in a leaky bucket - ignores crucial insights only gained by an understanding of biology

Basic interpretation:
1) Cash transfers keep girls in school
2) Keeping girls in school keeps their HIV risk low

Nanocapsules sound awesome - what a brilliant idea!

T-cell supression is awesome too, though a very curious mechanism.

Crossing the blood-brain barrier with an antibody? I thought the main thing was size?

Sounds crackpot to me.
The main problem is that one can't really ensure that stimulus will fix the hysteresis problem at all. Stimulus funds do not go 100% to hiring people that have been unemployed for 6+ months; in fact, many of the people hired are not unemployed at all (as Caplan demonstrated in his Mercatur report)

Cited in our lit as mobile accessibility to support relapse prevention

are for some 160 000 residents in Grecia and outlying communities. Yet the hospital was built for a population of only 60 000. “The hospital in Grecia has been around for many years without any type of upgrade”, said the city's mayor, Adrián Barquero. “We've witnessed a serious deterioration in the service our hospital provides. Now, in addition we're facing a budget shortage on a national scale.”
According to the doctors' union, placing more doctors on call and shifting doctors from daytime to night-time shifts without hiring more staff could delay some 850 patient visits per month

I love that san fran is doing this! I bet that it will get killed by some irate citizens at the next local election, but this is a really brilliant idea

7 - Across the Plains - Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

- Every man has a torch burning within
- We rarely see it. We see a simple exterior, and think that is all there is. How wrong we are!
- If we were just to penetrate to that which sets our fellow man afire, how much we might glory in man's beauty!

A very slick way to run tons of different regressions, mining your way toward the best model

Good rule of thumb: 1.6 times the sample size as for a t-test
