I have revised and extended my farewell lecture "From killer nurses to quantum entanglement"", and am slowly converting it into a paper on the Ben Geen case with amazing new statistical graphics. Latest version: 3 December 2019. Skip the few well-labelled pages on quantum entanglement if you are only interested in innocent convicted serial killer nurses. See also my new Ben Geen talk. Here are links to the expert opinion of Jane Hutton and the expert opinion of Professor David Denison (who sadly died in 2014) at Ben's appeal in 2009 concerning the statistical, or rather scientific issues, around "unexpected clusters of medical cases" and their association with particular health care workers. The judge did not allow Jane to summarise het "Opinion" (technical term for an expert's report) in court in person because it was "merely common sense", as was also Denison's Opinion. At the judge's summing up, the jurors were also instructed to ignore that evidence. No common sense in my court! (shades of Sally Clark: it was "not rocket science"). English courts are also forbidden to use Bayes' theorem.
I'm a member of the North Sea Group, a circle of scholars and scientists mainly from countries around the North Sea, interested in legal evidence and legal proof. We have a webpage with blog and forum. I'm webmaster. The group has been meeting at annual workshops already for several years. A speciality is to study specific cases in depth using different methodologies from computer science and artificial intelligence, from psychology, philosophy and law, from statistics and probability. You can guess what cases I am contributing!

Interview with John Bell (OMNI, 1988)
Quantum Love (Delft YouTube video
I was asked by defense lawyers
working on behalf of Ben Geen, to analyse statistical data of
occurrence of respiratory arrest in accident and emergency at numerous
UK hospitals
(draft R html notebook,
draft report).
After I had done my statistical work, I dug more deeply into
other aspects of the case. The more I discovered, the more I was shocked that
this case was a carbon copy of our own (Netherlands) case of Lucia de Berk.
However there are three important differences. (1) The UK media did an even more
perfect hatchet job on him than the Dutch media did on Lucia. (2) The Criminal Cases
Review Commission is understaffed and underfunded, and takes a formalistic (legalist)
view: give us a "new legal fact" or we will do nothing. (3) There is no Metta de Noo:
no medical whistleblower. In the Lucia case, Metta de Noo fought for 7 years to get
Lucia the fair (re-) trial which Lucia deserved. Metta is a senior medical expert,
well connected in society, and she had inside information about the case.
In the Lucia case, what was needed (and finally happened at the re-trial in Arnhem,
2009--2010) was an independent and thorough re-appraisal of
existing (medical) evidence.
Ben has by now sat out about 12 years of his 30 year sentence. Because he claims to be innocent he is denied any "good prisoner" benefits and will also never get parole or early release. A small supporters' group set up a website Justice for Ben Geen.
Some UK journalists, at "The Times" no less, briefly showed some interest: Nurse 'was victim of Shipman hysteria' But recently his case is forgotten again.
Some years ago I offered a prize for the person who remasters the logo of the VVS: the Dutch statistical society (top image) in the most beautiful postscript. An exercise in curve fitting with splines, perhaps? Better still would be a mathematical/statistical story of the curves themselves, providing an elegant parametric family which reproduces the whole logo. Finally I decided to do it myself, and I think I am getting close with this perspective image of some very simple 3-dimensional curves, with indeed a statistical story behind them (bottom). The R script which draws this logo can be found here. It should generate a rotatable 3-d image...
See the slides of my Amst-R-dam R users group meetup 2011 (updated 2012) talk R-fun: part 1, the VVS logo in R; part 2, R on an iDevice. For some old news on "R on an iDevice" see the 2014 talk R on an iDevice, given at a Data Science NL meetup.
For more R fun: I am nowadays an enthusiastic user of RStudio and RPubs. You can find all kinds of R work by me at my RPubs site.
VVS stands for "Vereniging voor Statistiek". SMS stands for "Section Mathematical Statistics". The VVS also has an OR section, hence the common alternative name VVS-OR. And nowadays the society has a nice new logo, though it doesn't look to me so much like anything to do with statistics
I must admit to getting a lot of fun (and scientific stimulation) from interacting with Bell-deniers. More generally I consider this an important part of science-outreach: how can we explain Bell's theorem to the general public? Well, a good start is to try to understand the mentality of very smart and well-educated people who believe that Bell made some fundamental but simple mistake, that they have exposed that mistake, and that there is an establishment conspiracy to suppress their findings. 7 years ago, I wrote a tutorial paper intended to clarify the situation around the Joy Christian model. Since some of his work actually got published in decent journals in recent years, I have updated, expanded, and submitted my analysis of them to a journal myself. After quite a few struggles, I managed to get it also accepted by arXiv moderators: Does Geometric Algebra provide a loophole to Bell's Theorem? These activities also led in (2015) to short papers in the Springer journal IJTP (International Journal of Theoretical Physics) and the Elsevier journal RinP (Results in Physics), refuting results in papers by J. Christian and by H. Geurdes which had appeared in those journals in the same year. I hope someone finds them useful. My "victims" were not amused, I'm sorry for that. I analyse and criticise their work, not their persons.

Just for fun: things you wish your computer had (including the classic clippy's suicide note)
A few years ago I discovered the enormous disussion on the Monty Hall (three doors) problem on wikipedia. My published writings on the subject are, in order of writing (and in order of insightfulness)an invited contribution to Springer's International Encyclopaedia of Statistical Science, 2010, a paper in Statistica Neerlandica, 2011, and contributions to the peer reviewed internet encyclopedias citizendium.org and StatProb.com. In this manuscript you will find an expanded version the most recent published work, the StatProb.com article.
Suppose the car is hidden behind one of the three
doors by a fair randomization. The contestant chooses Door 1. Monty
Hall, for reasons best known to himself, opens Door 3 revealing a goat.
We know that whatever probability mechanism is used by Monty for this
purpose, the conditional probability that switching will give the car
is at least 1/2. We know that the unconditional probability (ie not
conditioning on the door chosen by the contestant, nor the door opened
by Monty) is 2/3.
Always switching gives the car with unconditional probability 2/3, always staying gives it with probability 1/3. Nobody in their right mind could imagine that there could exist some mixed strategy (sometimes staying, sometimes switching, perhaps with the help of some randomization device, and all depending on which doors were chosen and opened) which would give you a better overall (ie unconditional) chance than 2/3 of getting the car.
This is true, of course. In fact, from the law of total probability, proving the optimality of (unconditional) 2/3 by always switching is equivalent to proving that all the six conditional probabilities of winning by switching, given door chosen and door opened, are at least 1/2. We can prove the latter using Bayes' theorem, or, better I think, using Bayes' rule in a smart way. However both these proofs require some sophistication.
Is there an elementary proof? A short proof using words and ideas, no computations.
Yes there is, and I learnt it from Sasha Gnedin.
However you play there's always a door such that if the car is there, you'll miss it. Consider first deterministic strategies. We only need consider two cases: for "always switching" it's the door you initially chose, and for "sometimes switching" it's a door you won't switch to if you get the option. (If you never switch there are two such doors: just choose one). Ordinary readers won't be interested in randomized strategies but anyone who wants to include these will understand how to do it (now the door where you'ld certainly miss a car has to be a random door, determined by the same coin tosses used to implement the random choices in your own strategy).
Note that the door which has been indicated in this way does not depend on where the car is actually hidden or how the host plays: it just depends on how the player plays. Therefore if the car is initially equally likely to be behind any of the three doors, we run a 1/3 chance that the car will be missed because it's behind this door. Therefore the 2/3 success-chance of always switching can't be beaten.
I would call this a proof by coupling.
The mathematical heart of all exchange paradoxes is encapsulated in a little theorem which I call my "unified solution". It seems to be new.
Statistical ethics of the probiotica trial.
This randomized triple-blind clinical trial of probiotics treatment
for patients with predicted severe acute pancreatitis ended in controversy,
when it transpired at the conclusion of the trial in
December 2007, that rather more patients had died on the treatment
arm of the trial than on the control arm.
It seemed strange that the trial had not been terminated at the interim analysis. The researchers were using a a stopping rule of S.M. Snapinn, by which the trial would to be terminated early either if it were almost certain that the final result would be a significant positive effect of probiotica, or if it were almost certain that the final result would be insignificant. Here is a paper by myself, to appear in Statistica Neerlandica, and, in Dutch, a short article by probabilist Ronald Meester and microbiologist Pieter ter Steeg which appeared in the newspaper Trouw and an open letter to Meester and ter Steeg by biostatisticians Hans van Houwelingen and Theo Stijnen. Also in Dutch there are a series of interviews (early 2008) on the current affairs chat show 'Pauw and Witteman': chairman of the hospital board Geert Blijham, 23 January; patient Jochim Vromans, 24 Jaunary; probiotics expert Eric Claassen, 25 January; leader of the research team Hein Gooszen, 14 February.
Later we obtained the data at the time of the interim analysis. It was given to journalists at a press conference on Feb. 13 2008, but never released to interested scientists. It turned out that the probiotica trial was not terminated for futility (following the Snapinn stopping rule) at the half way interim analysis, through a mis-reading of output of the SPSS package, which, without consulting the user, always reports the smaller p-value of the two one-sided Fisher's exact tests for equality of two binomial probabilities. Proper application of their own stopping rule would have led to early termination of the trial, since according to the criteria set in advance, there was no chance any more that it would result in a positive result for the probiotica treatment. The trial was de facto continued because there was a good chance that it would finally result in a negative result for probiotica. Here are slides of my talk careless statistics costs lives on the subject.
Mathematical Centre (Amsterdam) publications are now available on internet.
Here are two early works which had quite some impact, including
the reprint of my 1979 PhD thesis:
R.D. Gill (1980), Censoring and Stochastic Integrals, MC Tract 124.
R.D. Gill (1983), The sieve method as an alternative to dollar-unit sampling: the mathematical background, Report SN 12
Another useful link is to my Saint Flour lectures on survival analysis.
Product-integrals are to
products, as integrals are to sums. Though they have been around for
more than a hundred years, they never became part of the standard
toolbox, possibly because no-one invented the right mathematical symbol
for them. I made a try quite some years ago, though they still have not
caught on yet. With the crucial help of JC Loredo, my efforts resulted
prodint.zip, files for getting beautiful
\prodi and \Prodi and \PRODI symbols in your LaTeX, and Loredo.ttf,
a TrueType font for ordinary word processing. It is not that difficult
these days to get new fonts into your latex, see for instance TUG's
font installation instructions.

Today was our last day, and it was a very full day.
We started the day with breakfast, eggs, bacon, sausage and potatoes.
Juice and coffee and chocolate milk rounded it off.
Then it was off on another tour, dozens of spridgets lined up driving around the countryside.
We saw the beautiful Kettle Moraine and it saw loads of Midgets and Sprites.
After a quick rest in our air conditioned hotel room and a few snacks Peter and I went back to the pool.
We spent entirely too much time there again, then went out for the "Drag Races".
This is an event where you strap a tow rope around your torso and pull a Spridget across a parking lot.
I did it, Peter did it too.
Several others did this, then Dave Lieb came out barefoot and made it in a very respectable 7.0 seconds.
My first time was 8.5 seconds so I too kicked off my sandals and tried again.
Though I couldn't beat Lieb's time I did reduce my time to 7.3 seconds.
Of course, Ron Soave took first place with a 5.9 second run.
Next Peter and I started really thinking about starting to get ready to pack up for departure on Friday morning. We did a bit of organizing of our trunk (boot) and checked the car's fluids.
Then we took the laundry off to be washed and got that started.
Next we were back at Victorian Village for the Banquet.
Also the silent auction.
There were some very nice things available, a couple things that caught my eye were a radiator that will fit my car and a period accessory - a fender mirror / radio antennae.
I bid modestly on these and actually won them!
Great - more stuff to haul across America!
Dinner was good, and then the special tributes to Paul Asgeirsson and Frank Clarici III were given.
Both of these men were giants in our community, they embodied what it was to be a Spridget owner.
Whether it's "Pay it forward" or "It only goes one way" Paul and Frank will be remembered.
Our speaker was Burt Levy, author and race historian. He was funny and captivating and had great stories of his life and his racing days at Road America.
After awards and auction payments and everything was over I got out just in time to go to the laundry and get our dry clothes before the place locked up.
Now we are all packed up here in the room and ready to take the stuff down to the car in the morning.
Starting another epic journey of discovery, Peter and myself in the Green Frogeye Midget.

Seven Killed In Various Incidents Across City
LAHORE: Seven people, including a police constable, were killed in various incidents in the provincial capital on Tuesday.
In the first incident, a five-year-old boy was shot dead when two young men, during a fight, opened fire on each other in the Shafiqabad police precincts.
The deceased was identified as Abdul Rehman, son of Shakeel, a resident of Kasurpura. Police said that two locals namely Ahmad alias Machine and Faisal alias Guddu were fighting with each other over some unknown issue, when the victim's father Shakeel tried to stop them, but they opened fire on each other. Shakeel escaped unharmed, but his son him sustained two bullet wounds in his legs. After this, both accused escaped the scene. Shakeel rushed his injured son to a nearby hospital where doctors pronounced him dead. Later, police moved the body to the city morgue for autopsy. Shafiqabad police have registered a murder case against Ahmed and Faisal on the complaint of the deceased's father, with no arrests having been made until the filing of this report.
Als, a 22-year-old youth was stabbed to death by his brother-in-law over some domestic issue in Baghbanpura police precincts on Tuesday.
The deceased was identified as Nadeem, resident of Lakhudair Baghbanpura. Police said the victim's brother-in-law Naveed used to torture his wife, after which she came to her brother (Nadeem). A case was also pending in the Civil Court in this regard. On the day of the incident, Nadeem came to meet Naveed at his shop where they scuffled with each other and Naveed killed Nadeem with a sharp-edged weapon. Police arrested Naveed after registering a murder case against him on the complaint of the deceased's father Abdul Rasheed.
Also, a four-year-old child lost his life after he sustained severe burns after falling into boiling milk in Factory area police precincts. The deceased was identified as Pervaiz, son of Amjad, a resident of Walton Road. Police said the victim was playing in the kitchen when he accidentally fell into a boiling milk pot. His family members rushed him to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his burns. Police handed over the body to his family after fulfilling the legal formalities.
A three-year-old child lost his life after he fell down from his house rooftop in Shahdra Town police precincts. The deceased was identified as Zeeshan, son of Iqbal, a resident of Main Bazaar. Police said the victim was playing on his rooftop with other children when he accidentally fell down to the street below and sustained multiple injuries. His family members rushed him to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Also, an 18-year-old girl committed suicide by taking poisonous pills in Shadbagh area on Tuesday. The deceased was identified as Nageena, daughter of Hanif of Shadbagh. Police said the girl got dejected after being admonished by her parents over a domestic issue. She locked herself in a room and took poisonous pills, resulting in her death.
Driving into: Separately, a 45-year-old police constable died after he ran into a donkey-cart in Shafiqabad police precincts on Tuesday. The deceased was identified as Muhammad Jamil, who was going back home on his bike after finishing his duty when he accidentally ran into a donkey-cart, as a result of which he received severe injuries. Locals rushed him to a nearby hospital where he passed away.
Meanwhile, a 40-year-old woman was crushed to death by a speeding rickshaw in the jurisdiction of the Shahdara Town police. Police said the deceased, yet to be identified, was crossing the main road when a speeding rickshaw hit her, as a result of which she sustained severe injuries. However, the rickshaw driver managed to escape from the crime scene. Locals shifted her to a nearby hospital where she yielded to her injuries.

Of course, when you have a longer loan term, you get to pay a lesser amount of money monthly.

Most lenders have rules as to what type of vehicle they accept when you apply for a title loan with them.

We understand how your vehicle can be vital to you and we do not wish to deny you of that fluidity when you need it. So, we get to allow you to keep driving your car while you continue to repay the loan.
Most traditional financial lending institutions will provide loans for you but not at favorable interest rates. This makes it difficult for you to pay off these loans eventually. We hope that you can get the best online bad-credit car title loan with us at any time.
When you approach us, there are no hidden charges or fees. Everything has been spelled out so as you know what you are getting into. You can see from the beginning the entire value of the loan, and this makes it easier for you to begin to plan how to repay the loan.
Irrespective of the loan term, you can always repay everything at once if there is money you are expecting in bulk. While most title loan lenders will have to charge you for clearing off the loan on one large payment and denying them their monthly interest rates, we do not charge for that, and so, we operate on a zero-prepayment-penalty policy.
Most lenders you may fine offering online credit car title loans are not certified, and this could make you helpless when you get a loan from these lenders. There are certain stipulations that a lender must have before they became registered and licensed to practice in any state since the requirements vary as you move from one state to another.

Ministry of Manpower plans switch to new online system in November
6 Aug 18
What is the change? Indonesia's Ministry of Manpower has said that it will not introduce its new foreign worker online application system until November.
What does the change mean? Applicants will be able to submit applications online through the current TKA Online system until Oct. 31 and should anticipate the possibility of delays between now and November as authorities conduct IT work to get the new system ready.
- Implementation time frame: November 2018. Implementation depends on interagency systems integration, and it is possible that the Directorate General of Immigration is able to integrate the ministry's platform before Oct. 31.
- Visas/permits affected: Any visa or permit application submitted through the ministry's online application system, including applications for expatriate placement plans (RPTKA) and work permits (IMTA).
- Who is affected: Employers submitting applications through the ministry's online application system.
- Impact on processing times: Processing could be prolonged as Indonesia prepares to switch to the new system.
Background: The Ministry of Manpower announced in July that it would switch to a new online system. Plans to introduce it were subsequently delayed, and the ministry said in a circular dated Aug. 1 that it will continue to accept applications on the current platform through Oct. 31.
BAL Analysis: Applicants may continue using the current TKA Online system through Oct. 31 as authorities will continue to work on the new system between now and November. Officials are also doing IT work on the Directorate General of Immigration's online system, which has led to delays for limited stay visa applicants. "Similar delays may occur with the Ministry of Manpower in the upcoming period," said Philo Dellano, managing partner of PNB Immigration Law Firm in Jakarta.
This alert has been provided by the BAL Global Practice group and PNB Immigration Law Firm in Indonesia. For additional information, please contact your BAL attorney.

Engaging with Armed Groups: Legal and Operational Challenges for Humanitarian Actors
Past Event
Engaging with Armed Groups: Legal and Operational Challenges for Humanitarian Actors
Today, non-state actors play a central role in armed violence and are associated with many of the humanitarian concerns generated by conflicts. The lines between gangs, warlords, insurgents, paramilitary forces and drug traffickers are becoming blurrier. In addition, armed violence is increasingly occurring in urban environments. Political and humanitarian actors intent on promoting respect for the rights of conflict victims must study and understand armed groups, grasp the laws that apply to them, and assess their limits.
On March 30, the Brookings-LSE Project on Internal Displacement and the International Committee for the Red Cross hosted a discussion on armed groups and humanitarian protection featuring the launch of the new edition of the International Review of the Red Cross, titled "Understanding Armed Groups and the Applicable Law." Panelists included: Vincent Bernard, editor-in-chief of the International Review of the Red Cross; Brookings Fellow Vanda Felbab-Brown; and Marco Sassòli, professor and director, Department of International Law and International Organizations, University of Geneva. Senior Fellow Elizabeth Ferris, co-director of the Project on Internal Displacement, will provide introductory remarks and moderate the discussion.

Rory Speaks on Rural Communities
There is the possibility that those on the Front Bench will have a weary cynicism about this debate—a feeling that statistics are being thrown around, that special pleading is going on, names of councils being showered down on them, and figures of 50% or 2% and different definitions and so on being mentioned, but the point, of course, that hon. Members are making on both sides of the House is not about councils, but about rural communities and the very particular situation in which rural communities in Britain find themselves after 50 years of intense fragility.
We are talking not about individuals, wealthy second-home owners or people who retire to the countryside, but about organic, living communities of the sort that we prize in this country and that everyone in the Chamber prizes—communities containing young families, living small farms and a living school. Those things desperately depend on how rural councils are funded, however, and they face a perfect storm. Ministers are not the only people putting pressures on them. It is important to understand the overall context in which agri-environmental schemes, the huge movement towards supermarkets and capitalism itself have eroded rural communities. This is simply the last straw on the camel's back. For all the reasons we have heard in the House—sparse population, fuel poverty, cost of living—these communities now face a serious crisis. Whatever we do with the 50% or the 2%, rural councils have inherited a situation in which they are significantly less well funded per head than urban councils.
Andrew Bingham (High Peak) (Con): As my hon. Friend points out, this situation has been going on for a long time, so does he share my disappointment that, although we thought that this would finally be dealt with and that rural communities would get their fair share, that does not appear to be happening?
Rory Stewart: That is an excellent point. Perhaps Ministers will address the fact that this is an inherited situation, stretching back to the '60s and the '70s, and relating to the debts of urban councils and the types of assets that urban councils possess. The financial settlement was not designed to address real instances of deprivation or to take into account the indexes of deprivation that we all experience day to day—the cost of heating rural homes, the cost of living and so on.
The nub of the argument, however, has to be about the communities themselves—about why we care about them and wish to keep vibrant, living, organic communities alive. There are three reasons: first, there will come a time when we treasure the food security offered by those small farms, which do not exist independent of the funding that the council is prepared to provide for schools, transport or housing; secondly, tourism, which is one of the most rapidly growing sectors in the rural economy, is dependent not on our weather or food, but on a living landscape of humans; and finally, the fact that this is something deeply precious to Britain. In this the 21st century, our country has the privilege of being one of the most advanced developed countries in the world. We can set an example to other countries of how an advanced industrial economy should behave, what kind of civilisation and future we want and what kind of landscape we imagine for our grandchildren. The decision that Ministers make today will determine that: it will determine whether instead of a network of small farms, organic communities and vibrant villages, we end up with nothing but a wilderness for millionaires.

Waste paper market braced for price falls
TGM Recycling Group and all the companies in the paper recycling sector are concerned by the hugely volatile market conditions for bulk grades of paper and cardboard. Please see the link below: http://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/market-braces-waste-paper-price-fall/
Exporters facing higher shipping costs
The paper recycling industry is once again facing difficulties with shipping following rationalisation in shipping lines and steeply rising freight costs. Please see letsrecycle.com article below: http://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/exporters-facing-higher-shipping-costs/
Recovered Paper market stable despite reducing volumes
While the export market continues to be important in the paper recycling sector, there is optimism that 2017 could see stronger performances from UK mills. Although in 2016, production of paper did continue to fall, the rate of reduction has slowed but the collection of paper for recycling has also decreased.

Export difficulties in the Recycling Sector
The UK is once again experiencing difficulties in obtaining sea containers to fulfil the Nation's need to export the huge volumes of recyclate now being recovered from the waste stream. Exports to Asia of paper, cardboard, scrap metals and plastics are all suffering as a result of the shipping Lines' decision to create a shortage of available sea containers by removing ships from service and then to massively increase the outward freight charge from the UK ...

Simplified spectral forecasts of sea and swell waves by graphical means
Download Record
Czaja, Bernard F.
Stevenson, Donald W.
MetadataShow full item record
The spectral method of sea and swell wave forecasting yields more meaningful results than do other forecasting methods. To shorten the time required to make such a forecast the authors used high-speed computer methods and the Piers on-Neumann-James spectra to make spectral forecasts and display the results in graphic form for several synoptic weather models and a wide range of wind and fetch speeds. Forecasts were completed for a stationary fetch model, a fetch moving to leeward and a fetch moving to windward . Computations were made with the assumptions that a rectangular generating area could be delineated; that a spatially-uniform mean wind existed; that this wind did not increase or decrease until the time of forecast; and finally that if the fetch were moving, its movement was steady. The following parameter limits were established: a. wind speeds, 15 to 55 knots; b. speed of the generating area, 15 knots to and including the wind speed ; c. forecast times, 6 to 72 hours. Results of the forecasts are plotted on approximately 250 graphs which show the geographic distribution of spectral sea or swell components relative to the fetch at forecast times.

Brain2Bee: How dopamine affects social and
motor ability – from the human brain to the honey bee
January 2018 – January 2023 (ERC starting grant funded)
Portrayals of autistic people in the media often focus on difficulties with communicating and socialising. In contrast portrayals of individuals with Parkinson's Disease tend to focus on motor difficulties. The co-occurrence of social and motor symptoms is thus critically underappreciated; Parkinson's Disease patients exhibit social symptoms, and motor challenges (e.g. with handwriting or, perhaps, riding a bike) have been associated with Autism. At present, the biological basis of co-occurring social and motor challenges is unclear. The neuromodulator dopamine has been linked to both social and motor ability in neurotypical individuals. The aim of the Brain2Bee project is to unpack the relationship between dopamine, social and motor function, in order to shed light on the biological basis of co-occurring social and motor challenges.
Psychopharmacology: Brain2Bee will use psychopharmacology in a neurotypical population to develop a model of the relationship between Dopamine, Motor, and Social behaviour – the "DAMS" model.
Genes: Brain2Bee will use genetic analysis to refine DAMS, elucidating the contributions of dopamine-related biological processes (e.g. synthesis, receptor expression, reuptake). Brain2Bee will then test DAMS' predictions in patients with Parkinson's Disease and Autism. Thus clarifying whether, for example, dopamine-related genes confer risk for the development of social and motor difficulties in Parkinson's Disease.
Honey Bees: Brain2Bee will investigate whether DAMS generalises to an animal model, the honey bee, enabling future research to unpack the cascade of biological events linking dopamine-related genes with social and motor behaviour.
Autism and Parkinson's Disease: Both Autism and Parkinson's Disease have been associated with differences in the functioning of the dopamine system. Brain2Bee will help us to understand whether these differences in the way the dopamine system functions are linked to social and motor abilities in individuals with Autism or Parkinson's Disease.

Welcome to KLB's Blog for American-Filipinos
Welcome to the first ever "kuwentuhan-online" in Idaho. We hope you'll find this a great venue to tell us what's going on. We welcome all comments, although we cannot promise you all that all comments will be published. We reserve the right to choose the articles, comments, gripes, and questions submitted to us. We will try to address any questions - in as personal as possible and will try to contact people we think are concern. But don't hold your hopes too high, we still can't please everyone. :)
