Beveridge, Queens and Graduate Center CUNY and Social Explorer, Inc. Lynn Caporale, Strategic Scientific Advisor and Author The following slides were presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This project and paper is an outgrowth of that session, and will combine qualitative data on Nobel Prize Winners family histories along with analyses of the pattern of Nobel Winners. The first set of slides show some of the patterns so far found, and will be augmented for the formal paper. The second set of slides shows some examples of the Nobel families. The authors a developing a systematic data base of Nobel Winners (mainly US), their careers and their family histories. This turned out to be much more challenging than expected, since many winners do not emphasize their family origins in their own biographies or autobiographies or other commentary.

  • Philosophy Reviewed
    Unpublished Reviews Philosophy Reviewed Wednesday, July 11, 2018 Minds and Machines on Causality and the Brain June 2018, Volume 28, Issue 2, This volume of Minds and Machines is the product of a conference, which seems largely to have determined the contributions. Although purportedly about science, the essays are often principally directed at those philosophers of science who do not understand the banalities of the sciences they write about or are interested in. (Scientists tend to like this kind of stuff, because it is people saying what the scientists know or think. Everyone likes cheerleading.) Only one of the essays, Romeijin and Williamson's, makes any contribution a brain scientist could conceivably use. Romeijin and Williamson, Intervention and Identification in Latent Variable Modeling The authors actually do something. They show that if X, Y, L are binary, and L is the common cause of X, Y, and X, Y are measured and L is unmeasured and there and there are no other causal relations between X and Y, then an exogenous perturbation of the distribution of L allows identification of p(X | L) and p(Y | L) (and of course, p(X,Y | L) for all values of L, without knowledge of the distributions of L before and after perturbation except that the distributions are different. Of course, it isn't true if the relation between X, Y and L is linear, or if besides the common cause, X influences Y, or if L has more than two values, etc. The authors give no empirical example that realizes their result.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Arthur Kornberg, M.D., dated June 18, 1997.

    40th Annual IAHC Conference Caring and Interprofessional Practice: Re-imagining the Patient Care Experience. Hosted By Clemson University School of Nursing May 30 to June 2, 2019 Clemson University Nursing Building Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Medical Campus 605 Grove Road, Greenville, SC 29605 Keynote Speakers: Eduardo Salas, PhD Expert on team work in healthcare systems and TeamSTEPPS. Anne Boykin, PhD Director Anne Boykin Institute for the Advancement of Caring in Nursing. Regina Holiday Artist and nationally renowned speaker on patient care advocacy. President’s Message Dear Scholars, Welcome to our 40th Annual IAHC Conference in beautiful Greenville, SC. This year’s theme: Caring and Interprofessional Practice: Re-imagining the Patient Care Experience grounds us in the understanding that IAHC represents a broad community of scholars brought together to advance the science of human caring. To re-imagine is to imagine anew – to form a new conception (Merriam-WeBster Online Dictionary). Over the next few days, caring scholars from around the world will call on us to re- imagine living caring with each other and our patients! In honor of our 40th anniversary, we have placed images of past conference brochures throughout the 2019 program. Whether you are a first-time attendee or a founding member, I invite you to reflect on memories past, acknowledge your present contriButions and re-imagine yourself as an essential part of IAHC’s future! This year we are also celeBrating the re-imagining of the IAHC Logo! Kathleen Sitzman and I have provided canvas totes with the new logo as a gift. It is our hope that you will carry them proudly and increase the visibility of IAHC wherever you go! I am grateful to Dr.

  • Counterfactual Desirability
    Counterfactual Desirability Richard Bradley and H. Orri Stef´ansson Abstract The desirability of what actually occurs is often influenced by what could have been. Preferences based on such value dependencies between actual and counterfactual outcomes generate a class of problems for orthodox deci- sion theory, the best-known perhaps being the so-called Allais Paradox. In this paper we solve these problems by extending Richard Jeffrey’s decision theory to counterfactual prospects, using a multidimensional possible-world semantics for conditionals, and showing that preferences that are sensitive to counterfactual considerations can still be desirability maximising. We end the paper by investigating the conditions necessary and sufficient for a desirability function to be a standard expected utility function. It turns out that the additional conditions imply highly implausible epistemic principles. 1. Two Paradoxes of Rational Choice 2. Jeffrey Desirability 3. Counterfactuals 3.1 Probability and desirability of counterfactuals 3.2. Representations 4. Counterfactual-Dependent Preferences 1 4.1 Preference actualism and desirability maximisation 4.2 Modelling Allais' and Diamond's preferences 5.
