👋EpiBlueSky There's an increasing interest in exposome-related research using GWAS methods. I'm not an expert & not a fan of data-driven approaches, which look like p-fishing exercises. Does anyone know a resource which criticises these approaches or convinces me that they're good? 🙏

TIP: If you're planning a comparative effectiveness study in observational data, particularly a target trial emulation study, then please pre-register a study protocol! It makes a huge difference to how much readers will trust (or doubt) the analytical choices and results. #EpiSky

Predict != Usefully Predict. I'll bet that in the next 3 years we'll have a few hundred papers on micobiome + machine learning to predict long covid + some cluster analysis, and zero of them will lead to clinically useful insights.

Data are not biased. Datasets can be small, selective, incomplete, full of error, and is mostly a combination of these. Depending on what you do with such a dataset, some estimators (but not always all of them) may be biased and results unreliable and untrustworthy

Short survey (sorry @statsepi.bsky.social) How many reviews are you accepting per year? I have done >20 this year (without counting reviews of revised papers). I feel guilty each time I decline a review.

October is #BreastCancerAwareness Month! #ACADI_Lux is proud to contribute to the movement, focusing on raising awareness for older women. Watch this space to learn more about #BreastCancer in older women. #WomensHealth #GeriOnc Thanks to India Pinker for the infographic 🙏
This is an infographic for Breast Cancer Awareness Month showing two older women and the following text:
Did you know? Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women aged 65+ worldwide. 
What? I knew that!
34% of all breast cancers diagnosed worldwide are in women aged 65+. Source: Global Cancer Observatory.
