Elizabeth Wrigley-FieldHey demography/epi friends: What are your favorite measures of the intensity of mortality in one group or the difference/change in mortality across multiple groups or over time? Got any cutting-edge innovations (there are a bunch!) or forgotten favorites? I’m compiling a list. I’ve got tons but I want yours!<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/demography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#demography</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/epi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epi</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/EpiTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EpiTwitter</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PopStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PopStudies</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/mortality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mortality</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/longevity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#longevity</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/MortalityDisparities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MortalityDisparities</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/lifespan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lifespan</a>

Peter Tennant, PhDMy request for 2023: stop using BMI. If you're a member of the public, using it to suggest an 'ideal' weight: STOP.If you're a clinician, using it to judge someone's weight: STOP.If you're a scientist, using it as a proxy for adiposity: STOP.<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/StopUsingBMI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StopUsingBMI</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/EpiTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EpiTwitter</a>

April HollandHi all, finding my way here. Epidemiologist turned local public health director... am I in the right place?

Peter Tennant, PhDI have suggested <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/EpiVerse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EpiVerse</a> not as a replacement to <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/EpiTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EpiTwitter</a>, but simply as a space for epidemiologists to connect with each other and share thoughts, feelings, facts, and materials with other epidemiologists specifically. Alternatively, I have suggested that we use the <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Epidemiology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Epidemiology</a> hashtag to share thoughts, feelings, facts, and materials with the wider world.But people can, of course, use any hashtag they want for whatever purpose.<a href="https://aus.social/@jon_y_huang" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jon_y_huang</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/@willball12" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@willball12</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/@gregggonsalves" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gregggonsalves</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/@maciekboni" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@maciekboni</a>

Peter Tennant, PhD<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/EpiTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EpiTwitter</a> could also get lost up its causal-inference ass. I'm saying that as a big personal fan and active member of pre-pandemic <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/EpiTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EpiTwitter</a>, and someone with a passion for causal inference. But I was also branded a member of the 'causal mafia'. Someone who had a tendency to snarkily attack folks for publishing papers with Table 2 fallacies or without a DAG. While I think scientific criticism is important, my tone was often unfair.<a href="https://aus.social/@jon_y_huang" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jon_y_huang</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/@willball12" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@willball12</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/@gregggonsalves" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gregggonsalves</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/@maciekboni" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@maciekboni</a>

Peter Tennant, PhD<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/EpiTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EpiTwitter</a> had a rose-tinted age (best reflected here: <a href="https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/190/8/1625/6292357?login=true" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/190/8/1625/6292357?login=true</a>) but it died a traumatic death during the pandemic. There can be no <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/EpiTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EpiTwitter</a> 2.0 - in the same way we cannot unlearn our experiences of Twitter - because we cannot undo our collective experience in the past few years. That said, even before COVID-19, <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/EpiTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EpiTwitter</a> had problems, not least being a lack of diversity and the entrentchment of existing power networks<a href="https://aus.social/@jon_y_huang" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jon_y_huang</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/@willball12" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@willball12</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/@gregggonsalves" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gregggonsalves</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/@maciekboni" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@maciekboni</a>

Gregg GonsalvesWhat should the new <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/epitwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epitwitter</a> be called? As requested by <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/@maciekboni" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@maciekboni</a>.

Gregg GonsalvesSo, trying to figure out where all the epidemiologists are. I see them here and there on this site, but there is nothing like <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/epitwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epitwitter</a> yet. If you see an epidemiologist wandering around Mastodon, send them my way!

Jon HuangThe reflex to indiscriminately stratify and adjust on covariates is strong in biomedical research. I face this so often, especially with clinician-scientist collaborators.The analyses and models that arise from this, in fact, often do not well represent how exposures and treatments exert their effect in reality.A <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TargetTrial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TargetTrial</a> approach crystallizes when, where, and how co-variates should be treated.
