In particular, I argued that results that cannot fit in with a web of prior evidence must be viewed with skepticism. Historical disbelief in startling results. I discussed in the past. Through the 1990s, more and more post-menopausal women were treated with estrogen. In 1998, the HERS trial. When HERS was published, I stopped...

Scottish Doctor, author, speaker, sceptic. About Dr. Malcolm Kendrick. Statin Nation – Video. Books by Dr Malcolm Kendrick. A tale of mice and men. I look into my crystal ball and I see. I see another wave of diabetes. Yes, the great Nostrokendrickos has spoken. Why do I predict this?

How evidence impacts medical decision making. Laquo; Pharma behaving well? Jul 05, 2013. Conflicts, though, can be something on which to blame all manner of disliked opinions, errors in judgment, or just plain mistakes, out of all proportion to their actual role in a given circumstance.

https://embargowatch.wordpress.com/2015/06/18/a-tipping-point-nature-angers-science-journalism-corps-with-short-kennewick-man-embargo

As usual, we’ll leave the analysis of the results to the stories by journalists focused on the paper itself. His popu...
