Why not just use random effects?

Except for vaccination for adults aged ≥65 years, ACIP makes no preferential recommendation for a specific vaccine when more than one licensed and recommended vaccine is available. Among adults aged ≥65 years any one of the following higher dose or adjuvanted influenza vaccines is preferentially recommended: HD-IIV3, RIV3, or aIIV3. If none of these three vaccines is available at an opportunity for vaccine administration, any other available age-appropriate influenza vaccine should be used (4,5).

Not defending FDA's decision, but this is in the same ACIP MMWR summary and what the decision is based on

"Core competencies are whatever our [Authors] areas of research are"

What is your complaint about this piece?

She is his frequent collaborator/co-author; they probably have like 50 papers together

This review has some nice ones about COVID policies:

Surely, Hassabis and Amodei qualify as scientists. Need not be mutually exclusive

Surely the FIFA Prize would be awarded in Memory of Pele/Maradona/Beckenbauer

"Come for Epstein, stay for leniency designs" 😨

A natural experiment beckons?!

Is this a Vinay in new form, or is it a recurrence?

Also, you can tell where they got inspiration for their ludicrous bar charts in demo

It looks to me that the model is fine-tuned/overfit on "how many r's in strawberry" type questions, hence the two r's to two b's

Holy hell, this is so good.
The comments highlighted some stuff I had overlooked and were very relevant too, unlike the generic ones one would get from ChatGPT/Claude. Surely, there is a human in the loop?

I would go one step further. I also had to come to terms with the fact that my slow work and fewer papers don't necessarily mean they are ground-breaking and better than someone's who is churning them out. I am just slow, period.

If you have "switch to a new todo app" in your todo list, then you would have completed at least one task

The transfer of one manuscript from one journal after rejection is increasingly becoming a clown show. It's not really a transfer if I have to reformat the manuscript, revise for new word count, and re-upload all documents.

Forgot to register for this event. Was it recorded, and if so, will the recording be posted anywhere?

Conduct and submit to a journal a descriptive study in an area where not much is known. Clearly mention the descriptive study design in title/objective.
Reviewer: This is a descriptive study and lacks rigor. What about [a bunch of confounders]?
Editor: Several methodological concerns. Reject.

In contrast, learning more about causal inference has made me more willing to apply for applied grants. Laying bare the assumptions (wrt confounding, bias, measurement) that need to hold for the estimates to be considered causal is how I approach it

I like to think multivariable modeling for descriptive questions (risk factors-type studies) as a form of standardization, if only a few important variables are considered, similar to reporting age-sex-standardized rates/values

Full-time or on the side?

What if...AI does the health policy?

You can educate them about kitchen sink regression

We will need to shut down propensity scores if you are unemployed, even for a day!

Maybe big gym needs to step up with funding?!

Percent vs percentage points stikes again!

Will the AI be called the Chief Human Officer!?
