Letter to the editor: The American political system
Politics is one of the few jobs in America where unqualified people can ask the public for money to be elected to positions they are not qualified to fill. The American political system further complicates itself with the fact that the blind are leading the blind. The newly elected politicians...

Nicole Woitowich: Clinical trials are better at including women. But data analysis is still a real problem.
