CROW was discussing scientific communications, including the problem of dealing with persistent myths. The Debunking Handbook by John Cook and Stephan Lewandowsky is a great resource with a step-by-step guide for arguing against misinformation. Highly recommended.

Abby Crocker and State Department of Education to study addiction
Abby Crocker, PhD (CTS 2013), Research Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Statistics, recently signed a landmark deal with the Vermont Department of Education to connect medical and educational records to study the long-term outcomes of children exposed to opioids before birth. See VTDigger for details.
Congratulations to Abby for getting this novel collaboration started...and for a brilliant summary of why research is so important: "Without having the data, you’re just throwing darts.”
Great sound bite!
