As to Holmes, I observed that he sat frequently for half an hour on end, with knitted brows and an abstracted air, but he swept the matter away with a wave of his hand when I mentioned it. 'Data! Data! Data! I can’t make bricks without clay!'
--The Adventure of the Copper Beeches, The Strand Magazine, Vol. III, 1892
To start off 2013 on the right foot, I am proposing to reward with a bottle of his/her favorite libation the reader who finds the most ingenious 2012 publication using data to test a hypothesis. Doesn't have to be epidemiology, but that's the most obvious avenue of investigation.
An extra bottle for a successful nutrition item; nutrition is poorly represented on this website.
