This is a series about what we know and what we don’t know. Paul Kurlansky, MD, associate director of the Center for Innovation and Outcomes Research at Columbia, tackles the important topics thoughtfully and without conjecture. He’s here to illuminate new research in a clear and concise (and distinctly Dr. Kurlansky) way.
