Congratulations to CHDS's @jacobjameson.com and all the finalists!

Excited to be named a finalist for the INFORMS Health Applications Society student paper competition for my paper on discretionary image batching in the emergency department! Paper here 👇 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Losing a friend. Older men have the highest suicide rate of any demographic group. This challenge doesn't get nearly the attention it should. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/13/o...

New life update! Married my best friend @madisoncoots.com

Check out this new article by CHDS doctoral student @jacobjameson.com and colleagues

🚨 NEW in American Journal of Preventive Medicine with Nate Glasser, Nabil Baker, Harold Pollack, & Elizabeth Tung We show that permissive state firearm policies amplify sex differences in suicide—especially among young and older men 🔗 t.co/1kZ24LPkmW

Unfortunately, one of the many the grants canceled at @Harvard.edu was my T32 in Comparative Effectiveness Research for Suicide Prevention If you’re coming to #SMDM47 @smdm.bsky.social come see the previously funded great work we are doing related to suicide prevention

If you’re looking to improve your collaborative workflow, computational reproducibility, or just how to make the most out of version control — this is for you 👇👇

If you are going to @smdm.bsky.social consider this short course with @madisoncoots.com and CHDS's @jacobjameson.com

Woo 🥳 3rd consecutive year I will be teaching my reproducibility and project management short course at #SMDM annual meeting ALSO if anyone knows any health/med journals looking to up their code sharing and reproducibility requirements please let me know 🙏

🚨New in Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics We find underrepresented groups have significantly lower exposure to medications with actionable PGx guidance—highlighting a critical obstacle to equitable genomically-guided personalized medicine 💊 ascpt.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Reminded of a special memory: in 4th grade my best friend Zach came to school kinda down. I asked what’s wrong and he said he just listened to the saddest song and it’s got him feeling kinda down. He pulls out his iPod to have me listen to the theme song from the tv show Scrubs

New blog post: A Gentle Introduction to Bayesian Linear Regression in R 📊 jacobjameson.com/posts/2025-0...

Would you rather be seen by an ED physician who orders their tests in a batch or in sequence? 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️🩻 New in Feb 2025 issue of HSR by Soroush Saghafian, Nicole Hodgson, Rob Huckman, and I

"HKS researchers create an analytical framework that informs the ongoing medical debate over whether to use race-unaware or race-aware risk assessments." @madisoncoots.com 👏👏👏 t.co/95lyhM9Md4

Join our lab! PIAS-Lab at Harvard Kennedy School is accepting new applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position. More information can be found 👇👇👇 scholar.harvard.edu/sites/schola...

So excited this finally out!! 🥳 Thread on our new paper 👇

NEW in Management Science! My coauthors and I came up with a new consequentialist approach to designing equitable algorithms. Instead of imposing fairness criteria on an algorithm (like equal false negative rates), we aim for good outcomes. More in the 🧵 below! (1/)

Happy birthday to my beautiful fiancée @madisoncoots.com ❤️

🚨 Excited to share our new article in @annualreviews.bsky.social. Working with Kristin Linn, @5harad.com, Amol Navathe, and Ravi Parikh, we examine the fairness debates of seven prominent and controversial healthcare algorithms.🧵 madisoncoots.com/files/racial...

The use of race in clinical risk models is heavily debated. While race-aware models can be more accurate, some are concerned about reinforcing racialized views of medicine. In our paper, we offer a new perspective on this debate. 🧵👇https://annals.org/aim/article/doi/10.7326/M23-3166

Final office hours today for MPP microeconomics at the Kennedy school. Absolutely packed!

Using race in medical risk assessments is hotly debated, with some arguing that doing so improves accuracy while others worry it reinforce pernicious attitudes. With @madisoncoots.com and colleagues, we identify a statistical twist that's been largely overlooked. 5harad.com/papers/race-...

1/10🚨 New Findings Alert! 🚨 Discover how genomic heterogeneity and ploidy help predict intrinsic resistance to anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in metastatic melanoma. 🧬https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adp4670 📝 Key takeaways from our latest study: 🧵👇

Our JSS article is out! And now I get to focus on {marginaleffects} 1.0.0. Stay tuned. www.jstatsoft.org/article/view...

Applications for the Marshfield Institute's summer 2025 research internship program are now open through February 9th marshfieldresearch.org/srip

Damn I know Twitter is suffering because I’m only gaining like 1 sexbot follower for every 10 followers I lose

Here is a recent, great review article on #causalinference: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Absolutely sick airport find 💀

‼️Genomic heterogeneity and ploidy help predict intrinsic resistance to anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in metastatic melanoma. 🧬‼️ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I had work study all of undergrad and didn’t know what it meant until I graduated. Worked at Ross and Goodwill all of college so I just never used it. Just had lunch with my cousin who’s a freshman at Cal— also had work study and didn’t know what it meant. Why tf don’t universities tell you??

Incredibly thankful for my fiancée @madisoncoots.com who improves every aspect of my life

#postdoc opportunity! Interested in ML and healthcare operations research? The Public Impact Analytics Science (PIAS) Lab at the @harvardkennedy.bsky.social has a new round of hiring for Postdoctoral Fellow positions! 👇👇 scholar.harvard.edu/sites/schola...

no way people are calling Bluesky posts “skeets” (sky + tweet). I just saw someone use the term reskeet seriously. I can’t do it

Don’t tell me Bluesky has made it when I see you double posting here and X still

Great upcoming panel by the Center for Suicide Research and Prevention for those interested in ML based prediction models for suicide prevention Register free @ bit.ly/CSRPw2

Okay, I made an updated version of the guide "Python Packages for Applied Economists" to reorganize a bit, incorporate suggestions, and put it on Github like a grownup: github.com/clibassi/pyt... Comments welcome!

Something going on with Big Teeth

Waiting for someone to put me in a starter pack smh

From the archives: Have you (like me!) wondered what the ATT means and how it's different from average treatment effects? I use #rstats to explore why we care about (and how to calculate) the ATE, ATT, and ATU #polisky #episky #econsky www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2024/03...
