<a href="https://disneycruisinggroup.com/marksnews/"></a> I love the New Yorker and over the years they have published many fine  articles on science by bright and knowledgeable writers including Lehrer  (e.g., John McPhee, Jonathon Schell, John Hersey, Rachel Carson, Jeremy  Bernstein, Atul Gawande, Malcom Gladwell). Despite this excellent  record of science translation, it is useful to remember that the New  Yorker published another fine scientific writer (Paul Brodeur) about 20  years ago who claimed that power lines were leading to brain cancer. It  was compelling writing and it had a big effect on public opinion and  science, but ultimately none of the breathless claims panned out despite  the fears struck in the community. Decline effects, though rarely  referred to that way, are widely recognized in science (often  meta-analyses will divide up the sample of studies depending on when  they were conducted&#8211;early vs. late).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>
