- Bill Wiist, special assistant to the executive dean for the College of Health and Human Services, co-authored with Mayer Brezis of Hebrew University the first articles published for a new series in the journal Medical Care. Their peer-reviewed articles, “Vulnerability of Health to Market Forces,” are in the journal’s March 2011 issue. The journal’s editor said the issue in the original article was “so important and so controversial” that it justified starting a new “Point,” “Counterpoint” and “Reply” feature and blog in the data-driven journal.
