If you're interested in data sleuthing but aren't sure where to start, or if you're conducting a systematic review/meta-analysis and want to ensure you're not including junk studies, check out this Cochrane training session on Trustworthiness Assessment by @jdwilko.bsky.social

Happy Birthday John Snow!!! Small note: he didn't use disease mapping to 'determine the source' of the London cholera outbreak in 1854. He suspected the Broad Street pump immediately. His map was created to try and convince people that cholera spread through water, a radical argument at the time.

In clinical research, you will often receive feedback on study design, stats, and/or data analysis from an editor or reviewer that is simply wrong. Here is a list of common "statistical myths" and references you can use to push back. discourse.datamethods.org/t/reference-...

The 'new regression models' can be described and interpreted very easily, they even allow statistical inference, they perform just as well as good old machine learning and they no longer consume any energy once they have been developed and written down as a formula on a piece of paper!

And more focus on methodological rigor, specifically for the purpose of avoiding Research Waste. You can't say you weren't warned.

Academics, let's make 2025 the year where we are more explicit and honest about our causal aims and interpretations Using, for instance, the terms "risk factor" or "associated with a decrease in" is not a clever way to avoid the issue

I am running my statistical rethinking course again starting in January. But this time just for Leipzig locals, so I can work with a smaller group this year and track individual progress better. I think that will help me tune the material, espeically homework, better. Materials still open however.

Okay, I think we’re finally gaining momentum! I’ve identified a few #LatinAmerican scientists in this platform and will be sharing a starter pack next week. Let’s make this grow—share widely, tag others, and join the conversation. I’m aiming to include as many as possible!

In a couple of years we will talk about risk factor studies -- putting in a bunch of covariates in a multivariable regression model and declare the significant factors as important "risk factors" for health -- as one of the biggest mistakes in health research
