Claims have been made that the proposed new library could bring in $6.6M to local businesses. I just discovered the economic impact study behind that number is posted on the Town’s web site. It makes for interesting reading. One issue is that $6.6M is the high estimate; the low estimate is only $346K. A bigger issue is that there is a major flaw in the logic, making the results meaningless.
The report summarizes how they arrived at the number. Here’s the gist of it: Basically, they did a survey of library patrons in June-July 2019. Survey questions asked if they patronized other local businesses or activities while in town for their current/last trip to the library (58% said ‘yes’) and, if so, which businesses (generically; the survey provided a long list of types of businesses) and approximately how much did they spend at each of those businesses. The New Canaan Library automatically tallies the number of people entering the doors (800-1000 daily, no elimination of d

Washington [US], May 2 (ANI): A multi-institutional study, drove by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal, distinguished both the hereditary abnormalities that drive pre-cancer cells that lead to an intrusive kind of head and neckcancer and patients who are liable to react to immunotherapy to the least extent. Through a series of surprises, we followed clues that focused more and more tightly on specific genetic imbalances and their role in the effects of specific immune components in tumour development, said co-principal investigator Webster Cavenee, PhD, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine.
Researchers identify genetic abnormalities that drive invasiveness in head and neck cancer
A multi-institutional team of researchers has identified both the genetic abnormalities that drive pre-cancer cells into becoming an invasive type of head and neck cancer and patients who are least likely to respond to immunotherapy.
Through a series of surprises, we followed clues that focused more and more tightly on specific genetic imbalances and their role in the effects of specific immune components in tumor development.
Webster Cavenee, PhD, Co-Principal Investigator, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of California San Diego School of Medicine The genetic abnormalities we identified drive changes in the immune cell composition of the tumors that, in turn, dictates responsiveness to standard of care immune checkpoint inhibitors.
