When I see PhD positions like this, I think I should probably do another PhD :)

Consequences of following Jeremy → constantly reminding myself that it’s my duty to give meaning to “associations” and the results, not the reader’s job. I am the one who knows the study goal, my data, the literature, who chose the methods. Temptation to write “association” and move on is real :)

Cool paper from @keling-wang.com showing that 35% of randomly selected diabetes guideline recommendations use stronger causal language than the papers they cite. Such "causal jumps" are not necessarily unwarranted but, at best, lack of transparency in how causal conclusions were arrived at.

This takes me back to #EpiTwitter and the debates on the use of latent growth curve models for causal questions. That thread SAVED MY PHD. "What exactly is being compared?", among other questions and issues made me stopped using these models further in my PhD.

I’ve had the same impression while looking at academic epidemiology postdoc offers. So much focus on AI, machine learning, LLM experience. Are these the core skills we need now? What about subject matter knowledge, study design, bias, statistics, population health knowledge? Outdated?

Excited for my first #SER2025 in Boston next week! Looking forward to meeting US collaborators in person who are advising me on how to properly use target trial emulation and G-methods in #alcohol and #cancer observational studies.
