A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants. #IDsky #Medsky #Episky www.science.org/content/arti...

Final day of #GU25! Kicking things off with Oral Abstract Session C: Renal Cell Cancer—looking forward to the latest insights and discussions.
It’s nearly impossible to describe how severe a cut this is for universities. And all through executive action. The university lobbyists, that they relied on to recruit bipartisan support in Congress for so long, have no traction here. Key text:
1/ That "immortal time" is so frequent in survival analyses for #causalinference is fascinating. Because "immortal time" doesn't exist in the data, *we* create it when misanalyzing the data. Our new paper pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39494894/ summarizes why immortal time arises & how to prevent it.
Thx again to my friend @ddshapiro.bsky.social for giving us an outstanding Grand Rounds today @emoryuroonc.bsky.social & @winshipatemory.bsky.social on #RenalMedullaryCarcinoma. Inspiring work presented in an incredibly understandable & engaging way @msaouel.bsky.social @jackiebrownmd.bsky.social
