I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS. I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

3. "Why use methods that require proportional hazards?" @amjepi.bsky.social 2025 doi.org/10.1093/aje/... The proportional hazards assumption is generally superfluous. We encourage the use of survival analysis methods that produce absolute risks and that don't require constant hazard ratios.

Are you planning to attend the @IADR General Session in Barcelona? @BEHSR - Behavioral, Epidemiologic and Health Services Research Group has opened the call for young researchers to send their work.

Trump is attempting to unilaterally freeze trillions of dollars in federal spending that’s been duly appropriated by Congress. This is completely insane and illegal. He’s seizing unlawful control over the constitutional spending power? Five alarm fire www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Controversial opinion (or not): the global burden of diseases is like nuggets, which are based on chicken. GBD is based on real data but it is not real data. Like ultra-processed food, it sells a lot and tastes good, if you do not have chicken, you go for nuggets. Do you agree?

Thinking a lot about Trudeau's legacy for healthcare in Canada AND the country's #globalhealth role (& future) Interesting 2024 CCPA analysis of his record - raising a usual concern of "More talk than action" besetting the Liberals on health Will a Conservative alternative do better? I'm doubtful.

O economista Bráulio Borges tem afirmado que 50% da variação atual do câmbio vem de fatores externos. Mas a maioria dos analistas insistem no "risco fiscal". Ninguém menciona que a alocação global de capital financeiro nos EUA/dólar é a maior desde a "bolha.com" em 2000. Que moeda aguenta isso?

Science affords us the luxury of forgetting the impact of infectious diseases - In the 1st half of the 19th century 40-50% of children in US did not make it past the age of 5 - TB killed 1 in 7 people in US and Europe - smallpox killed 80% of infected children theconversation.com/infectious-d...

I used ChatGTP to source data. To then graph it against the real world source of truth as a demonstration of why that was a bad plan. bsky.app/profile/thou...

I was in a discussion about AI & ethics with a representative of our national statistics authority 2 weeks ago, and I quoted the 1978 IBM "a computer can never be held accountable therefore a computer must never make a management decision" in reference to the responsibilities of decision-making.

For #30DayChartChallenge - day 26 - ai I wanted to make a chart that showed generative AI generates expected seeming results consistent with the kind of corpus associated with the prompt, with no understanding of truth, facts, logic, or causality. So I had chatGPT supply the data for the graph.

Who is on the edge of science? If you are one, you know you are usually alone or with a few experts. Do not expect too many citations from vanguard papers, they are ahead of their time. That is why most papers are "me too" or confirmatory. Innovation has its costs.
