New blog post! In which I explain the issue with mediation analysis and sketch out one way to deal with the underlying causal inference problem -- in just a bit over 1,000 words! If you have never found the time to read up on this, now is your chance. www.the100.ci/2025/03/20/r...

Reviewer notes: That’s a very nice mediation analysis you have there. It would be a shame if something happened to it.

Mediation analysis has gotten a lot of flak, including classic titles such as “Yes, but what’s the mechanism? (Don’t expect an easy answer)” (Bullock et al., 2010), “What mediation analysis can (not) ...

Looking without bias is very hard to do. We want to “let the data do the talking” but data must be interpreted against backgrounds that are not bias-free. I want to tell you about an experiment showing how when looking at a plot, we come with bias that frames our perception.🧵⬇️

LOOK AT THIS FIGURE: human cell types by count and biomass. 80% of the cells in your body are Red Blood Cells (RBCs), meaning a statistically "average" human cell contains no DNA. Nuclei are the EXCEPTION, not the rule. From a biomass perspective, muscle myocytes are half your cellular mass.

Contrasting cell count and biomass distributions by cell type. Voronoi tree maps for all 400 investigated cell types of the reference male anatomical model (area represents relative cell number or biomass). (A) Cell counts are dominated by red blood cells and platelets, which are removed from the cell count tree map. Even after removing nonnucleated blood cells (≈29 trillion), white blood cells (≈3.4 trillion) still dominate the ≈7 trillion nucleated cell count, with 98% of white blood cells as tissue resident, 1% circulating and 1% intravascular marginating. (B) Cell biomass is dominated by skeletal myocytes, comprising about half of all 45 kg of cell biomass in the body, even though they make up <0.002% of the nucleated cell count, which are removed from the biomass tree map. Most of the remaining 23.5 kg of cell biomass are white adipocytes (≈12 kg; though body fat varies widely among subjects). Tree maps for a reference 60-kg female (≈28 trillion cells) and 32-kg child (≈17 trillio
