Thanks to The Oklahoman (www.oklahoman.com) for running my opinions on the new budget and impacts on Alzheimer's research (bit.ly/4mZXrg7) and public health progress for all of us. #PublicHealth #EndAlzheimers #Epidemiology #ScienceHomecoming

ADD YOUR NAME: Sign the Open Letter in Support of NIH Staff Join the courageous and committed National Institutes of Health (NIH) public servants by adding your name now.

@alsobrooks.senate.gov , thanks for standing up for #NIH and #HHS. Make Secretary Kennedy accountable for the US Healthcare System. Will you stand with us and sign the #BethesdaDeclaration?

This is good stuff. Good message, coming out strong. Now we need action. Grind the Senate to a halt, @padilla.senate.gov, drop the bipartisan front and criticize your Republican colleagues who voted for this; hold high-profile voluntary hearings produced for TV and video.

Thank you, Senator! Please make sure your colleagues also vote no!!!

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

We wrote about this ridiculous fraud and abuse nonsense. They’re using fraud as a political tool to dismantle the most popular public program we have—and the most successful program we’ve ever had at protecting peoples’ economic security in late life. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/musks-frau...

This is so senseless

(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars.

Just refusing to fund federal health research and pocketing away the designated money for their own slush funds

Sucking $1 billion out of the economy, diverting it from health research…

For what?

Get in dorks, we're going protesting!

Practical self-defense tip: when folks say "do your own research" about vaccines (for example), what they often mean is "go google studies, conducted using methods you are not trained to rigorously evaluate, that you can then use to reinforce your existing beliefs via a lot of confirmation bias."

The US constitution was built to avoid centralized power and tyranny.

It is not the constitution that is failing us.

It is the partisans who have promised to uphold the constitution that are failing us.

Twitter was a social media website employing 7500 people. The federal government employees ~3 million people and touches every part of your day—roads, planes, schools, healthcare, food safety, Social Security and on and on. We’re going to learn the hard way that we’ve been taking it for granted

Opinion | I’m a health researcher. NIH’s pause on research grants could have a devastating cost. This is a potentially devastating event — not just for the scientific community, but for all Americans.

Puzzled by the intrusion of competing events in #dementia research? Star scholar and explainer Dr. @palolili23.bsky.social comes to the rescue on Dec 10.

A reminder that we post videos and slide sets of #MELODEM talks on our always-evolving site.

{🔥 MELODEM hosts conversations on #methods for addressing vexing challenges in research on #dementia #cognition 🔥}

Yingyan Wu’s presentation starts in just a few min!

🤣

Join us tomorrow morning! Sometimes cognitive testing changes across study waves within a given study, which presents a challenge for longitudinal research — Yingyan will demonstrate an approach to address this issue!

Thank YOU!

I use Epi By Design in my course! I love the book and Daniel’s materials were super helpful. If you want to teach intro epi methods through a causal inference lens but feel daunted by the task of a course re-design, Westreich’s book and materials make it as painless as possible — highly recommend!

Monte Carlo Simulation Approaches for Quantitative Bias Analysis: A Tutorial Abstract. Quantitative bias analysis can be used to empirically assess how far study estimates are from the truth (i.e., an estimate that is free of bias).

Hailey Banack, Eleanor Hayes-Larson, & I have a tutorial that might help! The paper includes some example Stata code. I also have R code if that's more helpful than Stata. academic.oup.com/epirev/artic...

Ultimately the Democratic Party gets to decide who its nominee is, for better or worse. But it certainly seems like parts of the media believe they it is their job to choose the Democratic candidate, rather than covering the strengths and weaknesses of *both* candidates running for President.

Gay was permanently damaged as a leader. What happens when the most powerful media outlets in the world, ask, day in and day out, if you should be removed from your job? At some point key stakeholders, even supportive ones, start asking the same question. You have become a distraction. Time to move on for the good of the institution. We need a less contentious leader. The controversy becomes sufficient reason for the leader to go, even if the underlying causes are trivial.

Been thinking about the Claudine Gay coverage as a keystone to Biden coverage : it was an editorial campaign driven by story after story. It takes enormous editorial hubris to be certain they are right (they were wrong about Gay).
