A year later, Eric Cassell, Professor of Public Health at the Faculty of Medicine at Cornell University, kept up the high standards set in the previous year’s lectures. Several years ago, as part of an Oncology Workshop organized by the College of Doctors of Barcelona, I was part of a panel which also included an oncolo- gist from the Hospital de San Pablo, Carmen Alonso, who mentioned a piece by Eric Cassell which had appeared a short while before in the New England Journal of Medicine. This was the first time I had heard his name, and I was so impressed by Dr. Alonso’s contribution that I asked her for the details. A few days later, I received a copy of the full article by post –this was back in the days when computers and the internet were still a thing of the future1. From that moment on, Eric Cassell has been a constant source of inspiration for me. I have followed his publications closely and he has had a major influ- ence on much of my subsequent work in the field of health. If anyone wants to explore his line of thinking, I would recommend that they read: a) The groundbreaking lecture2 given by another famous doctor, Francis Peabody, in 1927 at the Harvard Medical School: «What is spoken of as a ‘clinical picture’ is not just a photograph of a man sick in bed; it is an impressionistic painting of the patient surrounded by his home, his work, his relations, his friends, his joys, sorrows, hopes and fears.» b) Twenty pages of a book by Laín Entralgo3. c) «The goals of medicine», often referred to as the Hastings Report, which is available in Spanish and Catalan translation on the Foundation’s website4. d) The article by David Callahan, «Death and the research imperative»5. e) The second extended edition of Cassell’s book, The nature of suffering and the goals of medicine6. 7 The person as the subject of medicine If one had to sum up the essence of Eric Cassell’s work, it would be hard to do better than to quote the author’s own thought-provoking observation: «Bodies do not suffer; persons do.» Now 80 years of age, Eric Cassell continues to play an active role in life. Like David Callahan, like the centenarians Moisés Broggi and Rita Levi-Montalcini, he is walking proof that in many cases the rule of «retirement at 65» is noth- ing more than an expression of administrative rigidity, age discrimination and social impoverishment7.

The emergence of bioethics as because I have to give a lecture on the subject. I think the old blind man, a force in medicine with its emphasis on respect for persons and autonomy when he got to his home would have reflected and realized that an elephant played a part in these changes. So at this time, the flag of person-centered is a very complicated thing. Maybe it is a good idea to think of elephants (or medicine flies from the top of most American medical schools and hospitals, persons) one way or another depending on what you want to do with the but the medicine practiced on their floors remains disease centered. knowledge.

  • We Can Go Anywhere': Understanding Independence Through a Case Study
    ‘We can go anywhere’: Understanding independence through a case study of ride-hailing use by people with visual impairments in metropolitan India VAISHNAV KAMESWARAN, University of Michigan JATIN GUPTA, University of Michigan JOYOJEET PAL, University of Michigan SILE O’MODHRAIN, University of Michigan TIFFANY C. VEINOT, University of Michigan ROBIN N. BREWER, University of Michigan AAKANKSHA PARAMESHWAR, University of Michigan VIDHYA Y, Microsoft Research India JACKI O’NEILL, Microsoft Research India Ride-hailing services have received attention as part of the growing work around the sharing economy, but the focus of these studies has largely been on drivers. In this paper, we examine how ride-hailing is transforming the transportation practices of one group of passengers - people with visual impairments in metropolitan India. Through a qualitative study consisting of interviews and observations, we examined the use and impact of these services on our target population, who otherwise contend with chaotic, unreliable, and largely inaccessible modes of transportation. We found that ride-hailing services positively affects participants’ notions of independence, and we tease out how independence for our participants is not just about ‘doing things alone, without help’ but is also situated, social and relative. Furthermore, we show how accessibility, in the case of ride-hailing in India, is a socio-technical and collaborative achievement, involving interactions between the passenger, the driver, and the technology.

  • Optimizing Social Welfare for Myopic Multi-Armed Bandits
    Noble Deceit: Optimizing Social Welfare for Myopic Multi-Armed Bandits SUBMISSION #553 In the information economy, consumer-generated information greatly informs the decisions of future consumers. However, myopic consumers seek to maximize their own reward with no regard for the information they generate. By controlling the consumers’ access to information, a central planner can incentivize them to produce more valuable information for future consumers. The myopic multi-armed bandit problem is a simple model encapsulating these issues. In this paper, we construct a simple incentive-compatible mechanism achieving constant regret for the problem. We use the novel idea of completing phases to selectively reveal information towards the goal of maximizing social welfare. Moreover, we characterize the distributions for which an incentive-compatible mechanism can achieve the first-best outcome and show that our general mechanism achieves first-best in such settings. Manuscript submitted for review to the 22nd ACM Conference on Economics & Computation (EC'21). 1 INTRODUCTION Submission #553 1 With society’s deeper integration with technology, information generated by con- sumers has become an incredibly valuable commodity. Entire industries solely exist to compile and distribute this information effectively. Some of this information, such as product ratings or traffic reports, is critical for informing a consumer’s decisions. For example, an agent may wish to buy the best phone case from an online retailer. With- out accurate product ratings, an agent might purchase a low-quality item. However, if every agent were to simply purchase the highest rated product, alternate options would never get explored and the truly best product might never be discovered.

  • Bill Whittle - Western Conservative Summit 2013
    Bill Whittle - Western Conservative Summit 2013 How many of you know a politician or two, or more, who has a hard time answering simple questions? Their responses to the questions sound fantastic, but they never actually answer the question. The root of this problem is the fear of admitting the truth. Thankfully our next speaker not only embraces the truth but he does it with enthusiasm and clarity. Bill Whittle is a political commentator, writer, director, and a pilot. Two things about Bill Whittle stood out to me: he has many videos on youtube, one of his most famous one is his analysis on the Occupy Wall Street protestors (+history of Wall Street protests / Occupation Nation "An Occupy Wall Street Documentary" (FULL)); it has garnered over 2.4 million views on youtube, and he also did a video about the Trayvon Martin case (+history of the shooting of Trayvon Martin), and that has, I think, about 1.5 million views, and counting. So, make sure to look those up on Youtube. (1:20) But something else struck me more. Bill Whittle has a video series, where he is the Virtual President of the United States. And let me tell you why you’re clapping, because he answers questions from the Press Corps. The most fascinating part about this is that he actually answers the questions with precisions, and so with that in mind, the truth is not safe today. The title of his speech is "Taking Back the Moral High Ground." Since he’s not going to beat around the bush, you can say, "Bye, bye Bush (George Bush)." Please join me in welcoming Bill Whittle.
