Please include confidence intervals with your relative risks (risk ratios, odds ratios, hazard ratios, etc) and not just the RR and a p-value. Bonus points for other measures too, but need to see how wide those intervals are not just whether they are significant. #postconferencefeedback

And like that a 1-yr sabbatical comes to an end. Enjoying the day with family and getting ready for the new challenges. What an odd time to have been offline in public health and what a critical time to be ready and rested to get back to it. Wish me luck!

US to rewrite its past national climate reports US President Donald Trump's administration is revising past editions of the nation's premier climate report -- its latest move to undermine the scientific consensus on human-caused global warming.

The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.

Boar's Head plans to reopen troubled deli meat plant, but reports of sanitation problems persist The Boar's Head deli meat plant at the heart of a deadly food poisoning outbreak is set to reopen in the coming months.

Much of the regulations at USDA have been removed; consume anything at your own risk.

We had one administratively withdrawn before review last month that was a renewal (continuation) of work that we were already doing with a foreign institution that they deemed previously to be worthy and justified.

I come from a family of pediatricians and have longed for my dad to have the opportunity to dress down RFK Jr, who is a true no-nothing menace. Thank you Congresswoman Schrier.

One Minnesota lawmaker and her spouse were fatally shot and a second lawmaker and his spouse were injured in separate "politically motivated" shootings at their homes in eastern Minnesota.

It’s always a pleasure - and frankly when we can be weird we let others be their weird selves too, and that’s when the real fun starts. Grateful to know you - in work and outside of work.

Totally fair question.
Curious if that means that the new review will be used to ensure that nothing is considered DEI work? And then, if so, what does that mean about how grants will be reviewed?

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

With the destruction of federal funding for research, people have been hoping foundations fill in some of the gaps. HHMI decided to suspend their competitions AFTER applicants had already spent hours working on the application.
