Epidemiology To The Rescue

I don't often brag about this, but my think-tank keeps a small team of crack epidemiologists on retainer. With their help, this month we've looked at a couple areas and have come up with some outside-the-box problem-solving with truly world-changing implications.

We've examined the twin problems of flooding and drought. We will drastically help alleviate both simultaneously through a new program to get people in areas of too-heavy rain to stop using their umbrellas and furthermore donate those umbrellas to drought-stricken areas. It's genius.

We can also vastly improve reading comprehension and math skills in primary-school students by providing the children with larger shoes. Initially this innovative program was enthusiastically embraced by Governor Blagojevich of Illinois but we are currently without a sponsor.

Stay tuned! We're just getting warmed up.
