Apparently this Annual Review of Dev Psych issue is open access, so this paper -- wonderfully led by Dr. Gabe Schwartz -- is available: www.annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.... re causal inference in lifecourse epi. #EpiSky

I've been at BUSPH for almost 5 months (!) I'm especially excited to work with w/@bostonu.bsky.social colleagues to field outstanding social epidemiology training focused on current priorities. My colleague Jon Jay's work on gun violence (& his new course) exemplifies: sites.bu.edu/riselab/cour...
