Mortalidad atribuible al calor en España durante el verano de 2025 | Gaceta Sanitaria Según la Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET), el verano de 2025ha sido el más cálido registrado, superando al de 2022

MORTALIDAD ATRIBUIBLE A CALOR EL PASADO VERANO:
4.480 por calor extremo, y 10.894 a calor moderado (es la que más crece).
Las exposiciones prolongadas a valores inferiores a los umbrales de calor extremo también matan (poblaciones vulnerables).

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.

This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.

Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

Did you see this? The editors-in-chief of @IntJEpidemiol discussed the #Trump administration's approach to science, and how it's affecting the fields of #epidemiology and #publichealth 👇

¿Cómo se podían canjear esos 50 puntos? ¿Por un peluche en la feria?

We need more "unfunded" research, not less. Or rather, we need more "core" funding and much less project based funding. Then universities can *invest* in core research infrastructure (including people), reduce precarity, and focus on growing and retaining talent.

Second day back to work after a month away is like the first real day back.

Yesterday was mostly spent laugh-crying maniacally at my to-do list and inbox.

Just out of curiosity, is the use of causal inference terms such as confouders, mediators, colliders, etc. right in predictive models? Do DAGs matter in this context?
Thanks in advance!

Congrats for your work!
Now I'd rather use the bounding analysis over other APC approaches, just because how transparently assumptions are made (which likely also influences how 'confidently' results are interpreted).
Also thanks for providing the code used for the empirical illustration!

Now officially out with nice formatting and all 🥳 "Thinking clearly about age, period, and cohort effects" -- a gentle introduction to the age-period-cohort problem and how to "solve" it through various types of assumptions.

Me ha parecido muy interesante este artículo con enfoque práctico sobre cómo (no) usar IA generativa en investigación.

My AI therapist got me through dark times With NHS mental health waitlists at record highs, are chatbots a possible solution?

"My AI therapist got me through dark times"

< in a competitive field, the notion of an AI 'therapist' may win the award for the most ignorant and inappropriate use of AI

At the heart of therapy is a human relationship. This is fundamentally not possible with an AI.

New vaccines get placebo-controlled trials. Improved vaccines shouldn't.

The anti-vaccine crowd say they just want to “see the evidence” in the form of placebo-controlled randomized trials.

But we've done these trials. And we know our vaccines work. Which is precisely why we can't use placebo to test better vaccines.

Sin menoscabo del artículo citado, no tengo claro que las estimaciones del GBD Study sirvan para demostrar lo que señalas a nivel de incidencia, la verdad.
Quizá sea prudente esperar a que se publiquen resultados de REDECAN (hay estudios en marcha).
