Talk Title: Public Health in the 21st Century: the Open-Source Outbreak

Description: Dr. Jennifer Gardy, an alumnus speaker at the event, is co-leading the new genome research lab at the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC). She is also known as Nerd Girl from her Globe and Mail blog of the same name. In her talk, Gardy shared how advances in technology have provided increased collaboration on scientific research and scholarly publications — what she labelled as public health 2.0.

For example, she showed how one publication had 36 authors. After leading the audience through the origins of H1N1, she stated how it only took five days from the sequencing of the virus to the first open-source paper. Gardy ended her talk emphasizing how students should be willing to explore the benefits of Open Access publications, collaborative research, and emerging technologies.

This is the VOA Special English Education Report.

Last week, we discussed one problem for medical journals: the question of authorship. You would think that all the scientists who took part in a research study would be listed as authors. But that is not always the case. Sometimes there are honorary authors and ghost authors. Honorary authors, also called guest authors, receive credit in a published study but had little to do with designing it or writing the article.

Ghost authors work on studies but are not credited. Sometimes they are paid by drug companies to place articles in journals to support the companys products. One example was described in September at a meeting of international medical journal editors in Vancouver, Canada.

Three researchers at the University of California at San Francisco presented information about a drug companys marketing campaign that included placing research articles in medical journals.

In the nineteen nineties, the drug company Parke Davis paid another company, Medical Education Systems, to produce journal articles in support of one of its drugs. Medical Education Systems worked with authors chosen by Parke Davis to research, develop and write articles for publication.

Editors of the journals that published the studies did not know about the companies involvement.

Another study presented at the meeting was done by editors at the Journal of the American Medical Association. Researchers questioned authors of nine hundred articles published last year in six top medical journals.

They found that twenty-one percent of the papers published in those journals had honorary authors. Eight percent had ghost authors. Two percent had both.

They compared this to a similar study in nineteen ninety-six. It found that nineteen percent of articles had honorary authors, twelve percent had ghost authors and two percent had both.

The researchers noted the drop in the percentage of ghost authors from twelve percent to eight percent. Annette Flanagin and Joe Wislar said they were pleased about the decrease but had hoped it would be larger.

Some researchers and editors say changes must be made to stop such false author claims. Some have called for journals to identify ghostwritten articles and ban their authors from future publication.

And thats the VOA Special English Education Report.

As Americans, we live in relative abundance. Although people living in certain parts of the world, and in certain parts of our own country, do not have enough food, the American food supply is quite abundant. The safety of that food, however, is becoming less secure.

In its recent publication, Food Safety and Fresh Produce, CAST has succinctly addressed some of the very food safety issues indicated by the Administrations Food Safety Working Group. This publication is an important contribution of science to the public. It is focused directly at the consumer level and arms consumers with knowledge about how to best prevent foodborne illness related to fresh produce. The publication clearly sets out the need for a complete farm to table food safety network involving all points in the production-processing-distribution-preparation food chain. CAST offers this publication for free at its website.

The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act: An Assault on Civil Liberties in the Name of Homeland Security

eedoms and civil liberties for years to come.

A HIDDEN AGENDA

In response to the tragedy of September 11, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced its support for model legislation. The goal was to provide federal funds to states to encourage the enactment of legislation to prevent and detect bioterrorist attacks. Drafted for the Centers for Disease Control by academicians from the Center for Law and the Public’s Health at Georgetown and Johns Hopkins Universities, the so-called Model State Emergency Health Powers Act was released on October 23, 2001.

It is noteworthy that a key attorney who assisted in drafting this proposal was also very involved in Hillary Clinton’s health care task force nearly a decade ago. It is also significant that two articles related to this proposal were published or prepared well before the Trade Center attacks. In January 1999, in a Columbia Law Review article, a plan was presented for changing public health laws. A similar plan appeared in an American Journal of Public Health article, published coincidentally in September 2001, but accepted for publication in March 2001.

It appears that this model legislation–formulated long before the terrorism of last fall–actually represents the promotion and expansion of a long-standing agenda. As these proposals come before the individual states, our elected officials should be aware of this history and examine carefully all proposals submitted to them.

Although this model legislation was recommended as a means to help states protect citizens against bioterrorist attacks and deal with national defense issues, the draft bill goes much, much further. It calls for giving state public health officials broad, new police powers–all in the name of controlling epidemics of infectious diseases during public health emergencies.

Furthermore, with an equally broad stroke, this model legislation defines “infectious disease” as “a disease caused by a living organism.” As drafted, the October 23, 2001, proposal stresses that “an infectious disease may or may not be transmissible from person to person, animal to person or insect to person.” Thus, any disease caused by a living organism could be classified as an infectious disease creating or invoking a public health emergency.

It is these broad definitions–painted with an overly broad brush in equally broad language–that our state officials and our state-based think tanks must be alerted to, aware of, and involved in examining as similar bills advance on state legislative agendas.

Key to all of this is what may or may not be considered or defined as a “public health emergency.”

Before Dianetics the world did not have a precise and workable means to resolve problems of the mind. Into this dark age, like a bolt from the blue, came the publication of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health.

Published on May 9, 1950, Dianetics was hailed as a breakthrough by Walter Winchell, noted columnist of the New York Daily Mirror as revolutionary for humanity as the first cavemans discovery and utilization of fire. The book instantly became a New York Times bestseller, and has routinely outsold the average bestseller year after year for five decades. In fact, no other book in history has even appeared on the New York Times bestseller list nearly fifty years after its first publication and appearance. With 18 million copies sold, it is indisputably the most widely read and influential book on the human mind ever published. That its importance was immediately recognized can be seen in the fact that within the first year of its initial release, more than 750 Dianetics groups sprang up in the United States.

This book marks a turning point in mans knowledge and understanding of himself. It is the manual of Dianetics procedure. In Dianetics, L. Ron Hubbard details the dynamic principle of existence (Survive!) and provides the first accurate description of the human mind, what it consists of and how it operates. He describes in great detail the source of all human aberration: the reactive mind and its engrams. Having discovered the barrier to rationality and survival, L. Ron Hubbard then developed a technology to eradicate its harmful effects, resulting in a new state of existence for man, the state of Clear. The auditing techniques for erasing engrams and creating Clears are covered in vivid detail in Dianetics and continue to be widely used today.

The importance of this book was not underestimated when it was first published and should not be today. Anyone who has not read Dianetics remains ignorant of the most important breakthroughs on the subject of the human mind.
