Neighborhoods affect health, but the temporal conditions bearing on the association are not well understood. In this commentary, Beza Taddess (Princeton) and I discuss how timing and cumulative processes matter in the link between neighborhood poverty & biological aging: share.google/Af0MtBiiJFUN...

If you remember DOS Shell, don't forget to schedule that colonoscopy this year.

Happy to win the College of Liberal Arts Excellence in Teaching Award. I came to CU Denver because I saw something familiar in our students. Like me, most are the first in their families to pursue a college degree. It's an honor to serve them and foster their growth as professionals, as citizens.

Our new study in Social Science & Medicine: Using 2022–23 BRFSS and IRT-derived ACE scores, we show higher childhood adversity → higher odds of problem drinking in adulthood. Social support attenuates the risk. Open access link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1mc9L-CmV9... #pophealth

Since I started developing the mapgl R package I've envisioned built-in interactive legends. They're finally here in the upcoming package release: a filter slider for continuous legends, and click-to-filter for categorical legends. Blog post coming this week!

Good opportunity for many of y'all

A national cohort study in France shows no association between mRNA COVID-19 vaccine received in the first trimester & congenital defects in babies. This adds to previous national studies that reported similar outcomes. Kennedy is wrong, as usual. 🧪 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

First-Trimester mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination and Risk of Major Congenital Anomalies

This cohort study examines the association between first-trimester exposure to messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines and the risk of major congenital malformations among infants in France.
