#Census in #Iraq after over 30 years: an excellent achievement for the country. This will substantially improve the quality and reliability of health indicators. Below paper is a political analysis of wider implications of the census. It's worth critical reading! foreignpolicy.com/2024/12/23/i...

On AI hallucinations... a good read for your holidays

We feel very welcome, here at Bluesky. For all new followers, we aim to post skeets on articles appearing in the @jclinepi.bsky.social. Mostly methods-focused articles but also articles explaining concepts relevant to understand important concepts in epidemiology: www.jclinepi.com/content/key_...

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research. A Place of Joy.
