Made it to Phoenix 🌵☀️ & ready to kick off #SER2026 with a session on peer review for epi ECRs tomorrow (Tues) at 8:30AM with the fabulous @tfeend.bsky.social!
One of my first German language articles! Thankfully, I had a lot of support :) The whole issue is really great... if you can read German, be sure to check out the 11th edition of Albert!

CAUSAL GRAPHS ➡️ HAPPINESS. 😍 Agree? & Work in/around Berlin? 🐻 Sign up for the 2026 Applied Causal Graphs Workshop! 🌟 Deadline Feb 28th ⬇️ applied-causal-graphs.de This 3rd edition is hosted by the great folks at Uni Potsdam 💡
As part of @berlinscienceweek.bsky.social 2025, @berndpulverer.bsky.social @embopress.org & Alex Freeman @octopus-ac.bsky.social debated the future of academic publishing – from reforming the system to creating something new. Explore key arguments: award.einsteinfoundation.de/events/debat...
Just decline the peer review invitation. What are you people even doing?
More than half of researchers now use AI for peer review — often against guidance
A survey of 1,600 academics found that more than 50% have used artificial-intelligence tools while peer reviewing manuscripts.

BERLIN + CAUSAL GRAPHS = HAPPINESS. Agree? Follow: bsky.app/profile/appl... Spoiler: Edition #3 in the making for Q2 2026! Stay tuned!
Thrilled to debate the future of scientific publishing with Alex Freeman, founder of Octopus.ac, moderated by @jlrohmann.bsky.social & hosted @einsteinberlin.bsky.social in a suitably vibrant Berlin setting. Votes elegantly split half way before & after arguments - strikingly, many changed sides : )
Berliners, help welcome @philippbach.bsky.social to the local causal inference scene! :) 👋
Jan Marcus@janmarcus.de · 10mo ago🎉 Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming our new tenure-track Assistant Professor @philippbach.bsky.social at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social In his talk, Philipp gave an inspiring overview of his work in the field of #CausalMachineLearning: method development, software tools, and applications.
That merely being “under review” by a Nature family journal is offered as a quality proxy for a paper is a tragic illustration of the extent to which academia is addicted to brands and outsources evaluation
It was a pleasure to take part in this inspiring event with a group of so many movers and shakers. ⭐ This is the energy and urgency needed in this space. I learned a lot and look forward to our joint output from this workshop. Thanks to @idibaps.bsky.social & @eu-life.bsky.social for organizing!
EU-LIFE@eu-life.bsky.social · 10mo ago💡“Where do we want our institutions to be in 5 years when it comes to #ResearchAssessment?” EU-LIFE & @idibaps.bsky.social co-organised a workshop in the context of the @coarassessment.bsky.social working group SAGA to explore struggles, enablers & visions for the future.

No one teaches collider bias like @pwgtennant.bsky.social in the #CausalIntroCourse. Lighthearted dice rolling 🎲 before the big reveal. Puzzled looks. Then 🤯 shock, as the implications for their research fields sank in. You could hear a pin drop during the compelling lecture that followed! 👏🏻

I love @epidbydesign.bsky.social 's peer review policy for questions @ this morning's #SER2025 session! 🤩 All conferences should do this! @societyforepi.bsky.social
Enjoying the side by side timelines of T Swift's life vs Epidemiology journal's evolution kicking off the "Eras" session at @societyforepi.bsky.social #SER2025. 😂
Really appreciate this piece, @simine.com — it’s so refreshing to see a journal openly laying out how it’s working to earn trust. Thanks for your leadership and for putting in the hard, thoughtful work. 💪
simine vazire@simine.com · last yr.My editorial on how journals can earn trust. We often use journal names as proxies for quality. This is bad bc it’s not valid. But it could be. Editors could make journal name a valid signal. And we could place value on journals that show us how they do that. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
New post on why national and global data is so important for public health: www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-y... If others have more info on PRAMS that I should include, feel free to let me know. I don't work on perinatal health but I think it's critical to discuss. #EpiSky #DataScience #PublicHealth

Catching up on my posting today... still have a few nice #EuroCIM2025 posters to share! Here is a neat one about barriers to integrating #causalinference methods into curricula & strategies to overcome these barriers...
Just been reading this great blog post by @dingdingpeng.the100.ci on accessible technical writing. Lots of good advice (some of which I knew, some was new to me) clearly laid out in one handy place! www.the100.ci/2024/12/01/w...
Writing about technical topics in an accessible manner
A wise man – I’m quite sure it was Brian Wansink – once pointed out that it is impossible to both read and write a lot. So, maybe reading a post about how to write just steals time from the more urgen...

![5-panel comic. (1) [teacher with long hair next to whiteboard] TEACHER: I’m supposed to give you the tools to do good science. (2) [teacher addressing students] But what *are* those tools? Methodology is hard and there are so many ways to get incorrect results. What is the magic ingredient that makes for good science? (3) TEACHER: To figure it out, I ran a regression with all the factors people say are important: [embedded list in sub-panel, cut off at end] Outcome variable: correct scientific results. Predictors: collaboration; skepticism of others’ claims; questioning your own beliefs; trying to falsify hypotheses; checking citations; statistical rigor; blinded analysis; financial disclosure; open data (4) TEACHER: The regression says two ingredients are the most crucial: 1) genuine curiosity about the answer to a question, and 2) ammonium hydroxide.
