I'm pretty excited to read an email from Dr. A.W. Jones who has found recent Counterpoint articles interesting, especially the last article on GERD and Breath Alcohol Testing. https://t.co/1mrJJKWFc2

@PaulDoroshenko Agreed. I put one in our office and gallery and for the most part it freed me from doing coffee mugs when I got in first thing in the morning... plus most people just rinse their mugs so much cleaner...

Therapeutic Drug Ranges
How do you interpret them?
​In most DUI drug cases the arrestee will have a blood sample taken and sent to a crime lab for analysis. There will likely be a number reported representing the amount of drug present in the sample. What does the number mean?

The New York Times has published an important article examining the current state of forensic breath alcohol testing. I had an opportunity to turn the tides, so to speak, and interview the lead reporter regarding their story. https://t.co/NMyNpFRZXG

[Counterpoint-Journal @CounterpointJo1]

I will be participating in a panel discussion with Mass. lawyer Joe Bernard, and New York Times reporter Jessica Silver-Greenberg on NPR's radio show "1A" regarding the recent Times article on breath test issues. Check it out tomorrow at 9AM EST. https://t.co/h78M2jF2Gc

You may have heard Forensic Toxicologists say that they have used Widmark's Formula to calculate your client's BAC at a specific point in time. What is that formula, how is it properly employed, and what are its limitations? More importantly, are they really using that formula?

I’ve been asked a number of times in recent months by a number of local and national media outlets to provide an introductory overview of how breath testing works and to discuss, in general terms, what problems exist in breath testing.
