I wonder how much of an effect BMJ editor-in-chief Fiona Godlee is having when it comes to publication of "new" angles in nutrition science. I was impressed with her appearance at the Swiss Re conference earlier this year, she seemed committed to trying to bring people with opposing views together and reaching consensus at whatever level it could be found.

Anyway, I'd love to see more case studies get this sort of attention. After all, what is a single case study but a carefully monitored n=1? We all have our own individual stories to tell, and as someone in the Swiss Re audience suggested at the time, there are an awful lot of n=1 successes out there.
