Hi, all.
I have read the readings and felt that the way of writing is different. For example, Bassett (2000) points out the correlation between race and health conditions without a quantitative model in the paper. For an Economist, it might be a little bit awkward because the discipline requires the careful analysis of causality or correlation.
Thus, the following blog interests me a lot today. The weblog tells us the importance of interdicsiplinary approach to climate impact, especially public health in this entry. It points out two common difficulties in interdisciplinary research. One is the different "language" among different discpline. Second, it claims that scientists or researchers are influenced by hiddlen rule within thier discpline. I totally agree with those points. How to see issues is totally different from one discipline to other discipline.

Anyway, the above blog might interest you because it advocate climate issues from Columbia.
