Here are some things, other than books and blog posts, that I wrote with a general audience in mind:

“CASES: A Fine Line Between Ask and Tell”

“CASES: When Bad Advice Is the Best Advice”

“DOCTOR FILES”

• The New Leader–”Facing the vaccine shortage. (When the Free Market Fails)”
• The Sciences–”Dose Response”
• Scientific American–”eBay and the Brain: What Psychology Teaches Us about the Economic Downturn”
• Worth–“Animal Madness”

And here are some non-technical “academic” articles:

• “Better Off Not Knowing”
• “Contracts with patients in clinical practice”
• “Beyond Costs and Benefits”
• “What Should I Do, Doc?”
• “Rationing By Any Other Name”
• “Doctor Talk: Technology and Modern Conversation”
• “Is Information Always A Good Thing?”
• “Misimagining the Unimaginable”
• “Beyond Comprehension”

And yet another article about some of my favorite past research:

“When Elevator Etiquette Takes a Dive”
