A new paper discussing the importance of federal, institutional, and programmatic support for physician scientist trainees. The same can easily apply to biomedical trainees. We as a nation need to support the next generation of doctors and researchers! rdcu.be/etaiE

Interesting historical principles of clinical trial conduct … Rule 5 “the medical statistician has to be competent” … sure hope we’ve got that one sorted!

A collaborative platform for causal DAGs is here! We released the beta version of cStructure today; try it out at cstructure.dev. A low code canvas to identify adjustment sets, bind and annotate data, analyze with in-browser Jupyter notebooks, and LLM kickstarters #causalinference #stats #episky
