Agree with Shelly; start on flat ground and maybe a lesson but that might not be needed. Some of the motions are a bit like ice skating. I LOVE cross country skiing; it's one of my happy places. Great exercise, and peaceful out in the woods.

I loved Bel Canto many years ago, and last summer quite enjoyed Tom Lake (especially the New England references).

I know a surprising amount about this thanks to ultimate frisbee tournaments! Carl's is a great classic frozen custard place straight from the 50's or whenever, and Abner B's is also great ice cream. I haven't been but Blue Cow also looks good.

An epidemiologist or (bio)statistician would also be great at writing this type of paper! Totally agree with the need.

Elizabeth Stuart @lizstuart.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

Thank you for this thread! I heard a story on this on NPR this morning and immediately was concerned about exactly these sorts of issues but hadn't yet dug into the actual paper. This is why we need to help train people in the core principles of causal inference!

I’m so glad to see more attention being paid to the data being used to train AI models. The results will only be as good as the data going in.

United does have a system for this! I have two in there and can pick which to use.

Loved this episode of reflection, especially @publichealthpod.bsky.social as a podcast asking and answering questions, with experts from a range of fields who are consider multiple angles and dig into the evidence. Conversations and sources of information like this are more important than ever.

Honestly I don’t have strong feelings one way or the other. Mostly focused on helping it be successful and do good work with solid connection to stats/biostats and what we have to offer.

This was our motivation for writing this! To help applied researchers learn more about what the assumptions actually mean. Which may mean cautioning users rather than inspiring them to use it.

040

Elizabeth Stuart @lizstuart.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

This is actually why we wrote this paper! To translate the assumptions to think about their plausibility, which imho is often limited.

Elizabeth Stuart @lizstuart.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

A great opportunity for folks interested in data science + AI; lots going on at Hopkins in this area! Spread the word and apply!

My attempts to help summarize why it's so hard to study things like whether there's a causal link between acetaminophen + autism.

Thank you! It's such an honor, and a wonderful prompt to reflect on how thankful I am to have found this career!

This is SO wonderful and well deserved; congratulations!!

So fun to come across this! It has been an honor and joy to work with Grace on topics that include proximal causal inference, electronic health records, and measurement error. She is a careful and excellent researcher, and an amazing team member!

This was an incredible story to hear on my run this morning and has stayed with me. Meaningful, interesting, and inspiring.

I appreciate the push for research at the end of the story about AI + education. But it doesn't clarify who will pay or do that needed research -- with the gutting of the federal education research agency (IES) it's not clear there will be unbiased groups to do it. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/09/b...

I am grateful for this coverage. Fiona is a friend and sadly just one example of many devoted public servants (who I know personally to be deeply committed, smart, and caring) whose expertise we are currently losing from the government.

@noahgreifer.bsky.social was my post-doc and I cannot recommend him more highly if you need a super smart statistical consultant / programmer. He is the force behind MatchIt, cobalt, and other packages, and is also just a fantastic team member.

My daughter was taking the same exam today! I kind of love the coordinated timing all around the country and the idea of a bunch of kids all sitting down for the tests in a coordinated timing kind of way.

Great way to learn the basics of policy trial emulation and the importance of careful study design for health policy!

This is so important. And especially in non experimental studies where bias - not variance - is the first order concern.

Elizabeth Stuart @lizstuart.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

This has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding (and sobering) collaborations I have been involved in, especially the integration of advanced stat methods and deep substantive expertise. Crucial empirical data and results that we hope can inform policy discussions.

Make sure it's done multiple times -- otherwise imputation will make estimates appear more precise than they really are.

Elizabeth Stuart @lizstuart.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

One add'l insight is that in some contexts a "missing data indicator" approach is actually okay (that's what twang does in implementation), and even if you do MICE [with outcomes and treatment included too!] it might make sense to include missing data indicators, as they may carry info about people.

Thank you for this thread; information like this is sorely needed. One quibble -- I would clarify that "massive study" does not always equal good evidence -- quality matters, not just sample size. Agree on the substance though; no rigorous evidence for a link between vaccines and autism!

In my experience it isn’t even that they might want to become a professor some day but more that someone told them it would help them get into college. Would love to know what admissions officers think about that.

I’m excited by many speakers at the Bloomberg American Health Summit - needed inspiration for those of us in public health - and especially fun to see @annieandrewsmd.bsky.social live, talking about gun violence prevention and how to normalize discussions of gun safety along pediatricians.
