Lisa Berkman inspired many of us, including my own career for decades before I met her. Her textbook Social Epidemiology was pivotal to my professional trajectory. Her essays & lectures on the structural drivers of health pushed me to expand my thinking beyond individual solutions for health equity.

Yes!!! I love this paper! Creative use of the Lleras Muney long mortality model and high res short run data to answer a causal question that is otherwise super hard!

✨Bell postdoctoral fellowship has allowed me to challenge my assumptions and to see beyond my understandings of society. If you're looking to grow by standing on the shoulders of giants, this might be the position for you! Feel free to reach out if you'd like to hear more about the experience :)

The evidence keeps accumulating that Brexit was an astonishing self-inflicted economic policy disaster. The fact that it is a slow-moving one bodes ill for those who think that populist economic mismanagement will translate into voters punishing populists. www.nber.org/system/files...

A good peer reviewer - who engages thoughtfully and constructively, teaches, notes what's good about a paper and what can be improved - is such a positive force. As a mentor (and as an editor and an author), I send out deep thanks to everyone who works hard to write kind and useful reviews.

I read an interesting paper on the limits of causal inference methods for questions where there is no counterfactual for the broad structural exposures of interest (e.g., impact of systemic racism on health) academic.oup.com/aje/advance-... So, is there a role for causal inference approaches here?

Very brief commentary by Vanessa Didelez on causal discovery and the role of expert knowledge when building DAGs: academic.oup.com/aje/advance-... Already suspected that I would like this after her talk yesterday, but I really do dig her writing -- it's very crisp and accessible.
Invited Commentary: Where Do the Causal DAGs Come From?

Abstract
How do we construct our causal DAGs, e.g. for life course modelling and analysis? In this commentary I review how the data-driven construction of causal DAGs (causal discovery) has evolved, what promises it holds and what limitations or caveats must be considered. In conclusion I find that expert- or theory-driven model building might benefit from some more checking against the data and causal discovery could bring new ideas into old theories.

Here is our response to a recent critique of our 2018 paper on police killings+mental health. The critique had obvious problems, but nevertheless instigated a formal investigation (which we passed). This was stressful. I am posting because our reply could be useful for teaching: osf.io/v72q6
