Perspectives in public health. Perspectives on life, science, business, philosophy, and religion from one public health viewpoint. Saturday, February 11, 2012. Is being an academic a disabilty (part 2). The fancy term for knowing your own limits is "meta-cognition" - that is, what you know ABOUT what you know.

Perspectives in public health. Perspectives on life, science, business, philosophy, and religion from one public health viewpoint. Sunday, November 07, 2010. He ain't heavy, father - he's my brother! I was reflecting this morning, after flying out of Nelson and seeing all the sailboats, on the nature of sailboats and what insights those can give to community efforts to tap into existing winds of power in order to get where they are going. What's going on here that we can learn from? In my mind, there is ...

Perspectives in public health. Perspectives on life, science, business, philosophy, and religion from one public health viewpoint. Wednesday, May 30, 2007. The road to error - illustrated. There are many different kinds of errors that organizational systems of humans can make, but one of the trickiest is directly related to the questions of "integrity", "transparency", and "prejudice."

Perspectives in public health. Perspectives on life, science, business, philosophy, and religion from one public health viewpoint. Wednesday, June 25, 2014. Why is math so hard? Why is math so hard? What can we do about it? Answer - give up! More precisely, when the approach we're using keeps on not working, instead of doing more of it, maybe we should rethink the whole approach and give up the way that keeps not working. I love math and science. I'm very pro math. Unless you get 100% of an solution's st...

Perspectives in public health. Perspectives on life, science, business, philosophy, and religion from one public health viewpoint. Wednesday, March 21, 2012. Asking the right questions about God and Science. I think it would help cut through the dust and noise if we asked the correct question about "God".
