Between this and FDA coming out for flavored vapes, it's a big day in the war on cancer. Unfortunately, the feds seem to be siding with cancer.

I gave my resignation at Emory this week. I've been enriched by really great colleagues that I will miss terribly. That being said, I will be joining the UNC School of Social Work as a senior methodologist for the school. Culmination of a lot of work, and I'm excited to see what the future holds.

Rewatched Scream 3 in preparation for Scream 7 tomorrow. God I love these movies, pumped for seeing tomorrow night. Going into it I've decided Scream 3 and 4 are key to what's going to happen, and I can't wait to see if I'm right. Bless my horror movie hating wife who watched 3 with me tonight

Is my intuition right for Wooldridges etwfe? Seems like you can follow a typical regression approach to testing for heterogenous treatment effects and then dynamic effects, potentially simplifying the model back down to a TWFE model if there doesn't seem to be a good reason not to.

Working through a grant proposal and PI wants to base it on new design paper. Which is great... Until you realize they handwave away that randomization needed for the model to hold is impractical in almost every setting...

I feel like sometimes God is a LITTLE on the nose with the lectionary: "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?"

Trying to go to sleep before a big presentation and there's a finance bro loudly taking a call in the room behind me. If I have to spend all night hearing about vertical integration and the Spanish markets, I will be feral by morning

Really an excellent presentation of group level confounding and different associated models. I've never seen someone explain random vs fixed effects this cleanly. And as an epi doing econometrics, it's great seeing some love for Mundalk.

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

I tend to think in a threats to validity framework (ala Shadish, Cook, and Campbell) instead of TTE. More and more, I think that's best for me. Even if just as a psychological framing of "here's what is wrong" vs what I see in TTE applications of "here's how it's basically an RCT"

Yeah. My grandfather who used to show me his collection of every National Geographic ever printed, and would get so overwhelmed in family social situations he would go sit on the porch in utter silence for an hour at a time... Definitely neurotypical.
