[ RadSafe ] Bernard (Bernie) L. Cohen

[Brent Rogers]

My favorite quote from Radsafe:  When a u of Iowa researcher claimed Cohen was violating Epidemiology 101, wrt ecological studies, Bernie cooly replied:  "I'm not bound by Epidemiology 101, I'm bound by The Scientific Method".  I don't recall the researcher having a retort.   RIP Bernie Cohen
