I am encouraged that the bureaucracy, NRC, has the wisdom to pick Ruth Weiner, one well known to ignore tradition (LNT) where it does not fit scientific information.



I pray you may also bring NRC the two-tailed test for all risk analysis (my concern with John Jacobus). 



John Cameron blames the harm-only analysis of NSYWS for delay in publicizing finding of just 0.76 total mortality among recipients of an extra 0.5 rad  vs controls.



Persist. I just had headlined in Cortlandt Forum, read by most MDs, (others will now persist):

    "Even without statistical analysis, it is obvious that never-smokers on HRT should have had much less CV disaease."

    Thanks very much, everyone, for the good wishes and congratulations you have sent regarding my appointment to ACNW. And please let's keep up the lively discussions on RADSAFE -- I get a lot of stuff I can use.

  Congratulations, Ruth!!!  And, I don't think you need worry about prodding more lively discussions here.  We seem to prod ourselves quite well, so to speak.
