Apparently this Annual Review of Dev Psych issue is open access, so this paper -- wonderfully led by Dr. Gabe Schwartz -- is available: www.annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.... re causal inference in lifecourse epi. #EpiSky

I've been at BUSPH for almost 5 months (!) I'm especially excited to work with w/@bostonu.bsky.social colleagues to field outstanding social epidemiology training focused on current priorities. My colleague Jon Jay's work on gun violence (& his new course) exemplifies: sites.bu.edu/riselab/cour...

They tell you to build your professional network, in part, so when you go up for promotion, you have people to ask and people to invite you to give talks etc. and I agree. But they don’t tell you that later, if you have a big network, you will be the person asked to do things.

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who center justify text and those who justify text the correct way.

Makes sense, but isn't "ology" the study of, so wouldn't the last part be public health action and not epidemiology? Or is that what you were saying?

This may sound like a dumb question but does immortal person time matter with a binary (yes/no) disease outcome?

Isn’t that just a public health professional?

So what is an applied epidemiologist?

When, in the def of epi, it says study the distribution and determinants of disease “and the application of that knowledge to control of disease.” - does “application” refer to public health action or studying the effects of interventions? Does epi include action or just studying effects of action?

Anyone have a good applied example of use of the target trial framework that prevented a problem that was likely to arise in an observational study not using the framework?

I’m new on here. Are people finding this platform useful? Are enough people on here? Do we think they will be?
