Last week,I wrote about a series of articles claiming that folks who question vaccine safety and efficacy have constructed an alternate, and by the authors’ accounts, incorrect episteme. The length of the article prohibited a full discussion of the concept of episteme and epistemic ‘truths’. I would like to dig into that a bit more […]
A few years ago, I stumbled upon some philosophical papers on a concept called ‘vaccine denialism’ and for those same years, I have tried and failed to write a cogent and detailed response. Each and every time I re-read those papers, I become angered, incensed really, at both the obvious venality of these arguments, but […]

I recently began a new project tackling the economics of testing women for clotting disorders prior to receiving prescriptions for hormonal contraception. Hormonal contraception induces chemical blood clotting cascades in all women, and thus, developing blood clots while on hormonal birth control is a very real risk. In women who have genetic clotting disorders, those […]
While searching through old research files for an article I am writing on mitochondria and hormones, I stumbled upon the presentation notes for my thesis defense. I thought some of our readers might find them interesting. Although, I was not able to find the original PowerPoint presentation, I did find a later presentation that included […]
