📢 Excited to share my first academic opinion piece—now out #OpenAccess in the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics! 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 👇Thread: Why replication code is essential for the future of credible science 🧵

A good peer reviewer - who engages thoughtfully and constructively, teaches, notes what's good about a paper and what can be improved - is such a positive force. As a mentor (and as an editor and an author), I send out deep thanks to everyone who works hard to write kind and useful reviews.

Amazing PhD opportunity to research Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease with Anja and the team! ✨

🚨 Underrepresentation of racially and ethnically diverse populations in dementia studies is a challenge. "How can we make better use of the data we have?" With @mariaglymour.bsky.social, Kenneth Langa, and @anjaleist.bsky.social, now in American Journal of Epidemiology🔓 👉 doi.org/10.1093/aje/...

Very happy to see our project masterfully led by Dr Jure Mur now published 🎉 An emulated trial design on the question of effectiveness of hearing aid use to modify #dementia risk. #Episky Data #UKBiobank Funding #ERC doi.org/10.1093/aje/...

💡How does a large minimum wage increase impact health? 🤔 Excited to share our new paper with @anjaleist.bsky.social & Marc Suhrcke, now published in Social Science & Medicine (Open Access!) 🔓 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #Econsky #Episky

Welcome @anjaleist.bsky.social to Bluesky 🌐✨ Her research centers on health inequalities, cognitive aging, and dementia. Check out her recently completed ERC-funded project here: cognitiveageing.uni.lu

Research update: we have a new version of our pharma M&A paper! AND, we posted the data we collected on m&a deals. Links below, main takeaways in thread. Paper summary: lucamaini.com/working-pape... Full draft: lucamaini.com/s/feng_hwang... Data: www.lucamaini.com/data

Check out our session ✨Health and the Minimum Wage✨ at ASHEcon chaired by @mpbitler.bsky.social. I will give two talks covering Korean and US minimum wage policies. The central focus remains the same: older workers. Feel free to reach out ☕ #ASHEcon2024 ashecon.confex.com/ashecon/2024...

Very brief commentary by Vanessa Didelez on causal discovery and the role of expert knowledge when building DAGs: academic.oup.com/aje/advance-... Already suspected that I would like this after her talk yesterday, but I really do dig her writing -- it's very crisp and accessible.

NEW PAPER out today in the BMJ TRIPOD+AI: reporting recommendations for studies developing or validating prediction models for use in healthcare that use #machinelearning methods bmj.com/content/385/... #ArtificialIntelligence #AIstandards #OpenAccess

I'm trying to write down some of the core public health ideas that I think are truly amazing -ideas I wish were part of popular understanding of health. Here's my first effort: www.linkedin.com/posts/maria-... (forgive slightly maudlin language and AI cover art). Suggestions welcome.
