OTHERWISE: John Snow - Father of Epidemiology - Bicentennial:
Epidemiology has played a huely important role in modern product liability litigation.  The asbestos epidemic was recognized and brought to public consciousness by the heroic work of Irving Selikoff whose systematic studies were the essential factual basis for every asbestos lawsuit of the past fifty years.  The use of this tool has informed pharmaceutical product liability litigation and much more.
John Snow was the father of epidemiology.  The Lancet looks back at a prphet who gained too little admiration in his own time. - GWC
