Update: It is an engineering PhD / AI evangelist that is now making the a pitch that you can just pull clinical data to apply a one-off published multivariable results to quality improvement

Epis are not doing this.

Not me reading this while sitting in a day-long workshop / pitch sesh by one such RWE company.

But also, you are giving epis too much credit for the political capital needed to drive this market. Every champion (in the US at least) has an MD. I dunno if MBBSs have the same cachet...

Wilhelmina Crosson (1900 – 1991) was one of the first African-American female teachers in Boston and developed city's first remedial reading program in 1935. She was also an early advocate of Black History education.

The evidence for age at menarche/first gravid must be endogenous to the socioenvironmental causes that cause/confound them. The intervention is not age itself. Other behavioral causes that change hormonal profile, sure, but I think they are more relevant to trends in HICs than the global population.

The survey being distributed via email by USF researchers for R1 faculty on AI use is good – I would encourage you to participate

(unlike the internal university survey on AI I recently received that had me yelling at the questions)

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Can confirm the southern suburbs are still SWARMING with ICE and they are still doing door knocking and abducting people from cars this morning. At least one abandoned car on the 101 bridge and a raid on an apartment complex in downtown Shakopee. It’s not even noon. Drawdown my fat ass.

As a former medic, this Month I tip my cap to the OG paramedics from Freedom House in Pittsburgh. Young Black men & women who were the first to practice advanced EMS in the streets, being the solution for their neighborhood when (as so often) no one else would.

AI Completely Failing to Boost Productivity, Says Top Analyst AI may or may not excel at a lot of things, but from an economic standpoint, it's definitely not making us more productive.

"OneΒ notable MIT studyΒ found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, anotherΒ study showedΒ that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”

Reading @rfkuang.bsky.social's Babel and in wonder at how timely it is, personally & more broadly.

She captures so well the conflicted migrant who imagined technical mastery a route to acceptance. Inadequacy then becomes motivation to be a tool of colonialism, leveraged against one's own community.

Are you family with RCMI (research centers for minority serving institutions) network led by Morehouse? It includes a number of HBCUs and would be an ideal place for your area of clinical research. DM me and I can help connect. I also have colleagues at a HBCUs outside RCMI as well.

The Class Gap in Career Progression: Evidence from US Academia

Class is rarely a focus of research or DEI in elite US occupations.

Evidence suggests it should be: we find a large class gap in at least one occupation - tenure-track academia...🧡

Funny, I made this case Day 1 of my Epi methods class this term and it seems (unfortunately) students' minds were blown.

We care about doing it right; the number or plot at the end can't actually tell you whether you've done it right. (Though it might be able to tell you if you did it wrong.)

FDA deletes warning on bogus autism therapies touted by RFK Jr.β€˜s allies The agency used to warn of chelation, used by RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine ally David Geier.

There’s a big story everyone is missingβ€”but this article hits on it.

We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.

What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

Among perpetrators of violence, there is a very small share who are independently motivated to violence. But the vast majority of perpetrators commit violence to seek approval and status from others.

This is particularly true among men who use violence to affirm their masculinity.
