👋EpiBlueSky There's an increasing interest in exposome-related research using GWAS methods. I'm not an expert & not a fan of data-driven approaches, which look like p-fishing exercises. Does anyone know a resource which criticises these approaches or convinces me that they're good? 🙏

Happy International Nurses Day! Today, we honour nurses in #GeriatricOncology — leaders in care, clinical expertise, & research. From assessments to symptom relief, coordination to end-of-life support, and advancing knowledge through research — your role is essential. 💙 Thank you for all you do.

Pubmed is down ! That is unbelievable 😨

Happy that our piece to present the @siogorg.bsky.social Methods Working Group I co-created with Dr Jennifer Lund is out 👇🏻 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Putting the finishing touches on a grant proposal—only to realise that a recently published paper is strikingly similar to what I had planned to propose!

Happy to see this published! I had been thinking of writing something similar when I found the time. For all researchers working with quantitative data, this is a must-read 👇 Now I finally have a ref to attach to all my peer reviews! 😊https://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WNL.0000000000210171

The 1st ACADI newsletter is out 😀 Have a read 👇🏻 Thanks to Dr India Pinker for the design 🙏 www.lih.lu/en/article/a...

#DAGsaddict 👋 Need help! Is there a way I can estimate the causal effect of sleep on cancer risk in the scenario below? DAGITTY tells me "Incorrectly adjusted" when adjusted on lifestyle factors at T-1 and T0. 🙏

Having a dog is the best receipe to lose some weights #TipOftheDay

Grant rejected 😞 Have to wait to know why.

On #WorldCancerDay, we highlight the unique cancer challenges older adults face & the need for better representation in research. Aligned w/ #UnitedbyUnique, ACADI advocates for person-centred oncology & equitable care. #CloseTheCareGap #GeriatricOncology 🙏 to India Pinker for designing this post!

Dry January ✅ Now starting Dry February !

TIP: If you're planning a comparative effectiveness study in observational data, particularly a target trial emulation study, then please pre-register a study protocol! It makes a huge difference to how much readers will trust (or doubt) the analytical choices and results. #EpiSky

👋🏻Hello, It is said that there will be a shortage of #oncologists in the coming years. Would anyone have a reference for that statement?

@paulineduquenne.bsky.social welcome here 😉

📣Excited to share the new #ACADI_Lux paper by Fei Liu, stemming from her 6-month internship, supervised by Dr India Pinker. ! 📄 What’s it about? A scoping review of online social support for #OlderAdults living with #Cancer. Check it out! 🎓✨ authors.elsevier.com/c/1kPY96hK~0...

Christmas gift 🥰 @epiellie.bsky.social

Hey 👋🏻 Has anyone a good resource on how to conduct a bibliometric analysis ? 🙏 #research #bibliometric

The final #ACADI_Lux newsletter for 2024 is out 😄 Have a read 👇🏻 Thanks to India Pinker, PhD for writing and designing it 🙏🏻 Thanks to the Luxembourg Institute of Health and Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) for their support. Have a happy festive end of year 🎉 www.lih.lu/en/article/a...

Hello bsky. Good to be here. I'm hiring! Can't think of a better inaugural post than to share details of new 2-year research fellow post we're advertising for an outstanding epidemiogist to join my team to work on improving population mental health. tinyurl.com/28mlykr9 #CausalSky #EpiSky

Predict != Usefully Predict. I'll bet that in the next 3 years we'll have a few hundred papers on micobiome + machine learning to predict long covid + some cluster analysis, and zero of them will lead to clinically useful insights.

@mkellyirving.bsky.social @zetkin.bsky.social look at what I got today 🤗

@d-with.bsky.social welcome 🤗 Happy to see you here 😁

I asked ChatGPT to draw a #DAG between sleep and cancer risk. Here is its reply: It drew one 🤯. I did not give it any other information. I will try to provide more info now ... #Episky

Never heard of multiverse analysis or specification curve analysis until now👇🏻 Still unsure of what they are though Thanks 🙏 to this community for all new things I am learning by following clever people 😊

@go2s3.bsky.social welcome 🤗 (May I suggest you to add your name as there are many bots coming too)

@ssapcariu.bsky.social welcome 🤗 Hope you will enjoy the place 😄

What role do competing events play in #dementia research? Paloma Rojas-Saunero (UCLA Fielding School of Public Health) is next for the 2024-2025 CAUSALab Methods Series @karolinskainst.bsky.social 📆 December 10, 2024 ⏰ 15.00 CEST/9.00 ET 📍 Virtual Register now 👇 stats.sender.net/forms/e7JD1d...

That is a super great news 😄

PLEASE SHARE: Registration is now open for the next Introduction to Causal Inference Course for Health & Social Scientists (7-11 July 2025, Leeds, UK). See more info & register here: www.causal.training Note, we are not planning any other courses until 2027. #CausalIntroCourse #EpiSky #CausalSky

If you are in Luxembourg, visit us at the Researchers' Days! You can be a researcher for one day, isolate DNA and sequence your own monster 👻 Come and have some fun! You can try our LEGO Sequencer and see a real one from @nanoporetech.com

Data are not biased. Datasets can be small, selective, incomplete, full of error, and is mostly a combination of these. Depending on what you do with such a dataset, some estimators (but not always all of them) may be biased and results unreliable and untrustworthy

#Epitwitter Does someone know a cohort which have accelerometer data in older adults and cancer information ? I am aware of the UK Biobank. Another one ? Thanks 🙏

@meiserlab.bsky.social Welcome 😀

Shout out to my Oxford-based Bluesky followers - we will be holding a 2-day intensive workshop on #PeerReview (biomed sciences focus) at #Oxford on Dec 12+13. There are a couple spots free for Oxford-affiliated folks. If you are interested, please DM me ASAP and I can send you the info!

#Episky Any good papers on why we never condition on the future which work to convince clinicians?

Short survey (sorry @statsepi.bsky.social) How many reviews are you accepting per year? I have done >20 this year (without counting reviews of revised papers). I feel guilty each time I decline a review.

@anjaleist.bsky.social Welcome 🤗

Okay ... ChatGpt gives true references now 🤯 (at its start references were all fake). You can also ask it to write a research proposal 🤯🤯 And the result gives a good start and structure. I am wondering what proposal reviewers will do to detect AI-generated proposals 🤔

Episky - anyone know of studies that have evaluated survey question design, specifically comparing multi choice questions with instructions to “select all that apply” to dichotomous questions that ask about each choice separately with yes or no responses?

@melissaloh.bsky.social welcome 😊 I hope you will like that place.

I joined Bluesky a couple of weeks ago. Very few people from Mexico & Latin America are around, but if somebody is interested in a 1 course year on Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology at INCan, this might be interesting. Lots of work & also fun ❤️hospital epidemiology

I am listening to #Divided by Annabel Sowemimo ! Mind blowing ! A must read for anyone.

#Episky Who is planning to go to 2025 @societyforepi.bsky.social conference ? I am considering attending but last time I was planning to, I was stopped by a storm 😅

A must to see for everyone 👇🏻

I am impressed by the number of new people joining every hour 🤯 It seems there is no many French people, am I right ? Any among my new followers ? If yes, please, say Bonjour 😊

Wow so many people connecting with me this last days 🤯 Why? I may need to introduce myself then 😊 I am an #epidemiologist interested in #ageing and #cancer. I am here mainly to passively learn about #epimethods and other topics and to increase my network. Welcome to all 😄

October is #BreastCancerAwareness Month! #ACADI_Lux is proud to contribute to the movement, focusing on raising awareness for older women. Watch this space to learn more about #BreastCancer in older women. #WomensHealth #GeriOnc Thanks to India Pinker for the infographic 🙏

Happy International Day for Older Adults! A good opportunity to remind all that older adults represent 60% of all cancers diagnosed every year & their number is fast growing, +++ in LMICs. They have unique needs that deserve specific attention. 🙏 to India Pinker, PhD for the illustration
