👋EpiBlueSky There's an increasing interest in exposome-related research using GWAS methods. I'm not an expert & not a fan of data-driven approaches, which look like p-fishing exercises. Does anyone know a resource which criticises these approaches or convinces me that they're good? 🙏

Happy to see this published! I had been thinking of writing something similar when I found the time. For all researchers working with quantitative data, this is a must-read 👇 Now I finally have a ref to attach to all my peer reviews! 😊https://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WNL.0000000000210171

#DAGsaddict 👋 Need help! Is there a way I can estimate the causal effect of sleep on cancer risk in the scenario below? DAGITTY tells me "Incorrectly adjusted" when adjusted on lifestyle factors at T-1 and T0. 🙏

On #WorldCancerDay, we highlight the unique cancer challenges older adults face & the need for better representation in research. Aligned w/ #UnitedbyUnique, ACADI advocates for person-centred oncology & equitable care. #CloseTheCareGap #GeriatricOncology 🙏 to India Pinker for designing this post!
TIP: If you're planning a comparative effectiveness study in observational data, particularly a target trial emulation study, then please pre-register a study protocol! It makes a huge difference to how much readers will trust (or doubt) the analytical choices and results. #EpiSky
👋🏻Hello, It is said that there will be a shortage of #oncologists in the coming years. Would anyone have a reference for that statement?

Je pensais naïvement que le scorbut était une maladie du passé 😳 www.francetvinfo.fr/sante/commen...
Comment expliquer la hausse des cas de scorbut chez les jeunes en France, notamment parmi les plus précaires ?
Une étude pointe la hausse en France de cette "maladie des marins", causée par une carence en vitamine C et qui peut provoquer douleurs osseuses et hémorragies. L'inflation est dénoncée comme une caus...

Predict != Usefully Predict. I'll bet that in the next 3 years we'll have a few hundred papers on micobiome + machine learning to predict long covid + some cluster analysis, and zero of them will lead to clinically useful insights.

Never heard of multiverse analysis or specification curve analysis until now👇🏻 Still unsure of what they are though Thanks 🙏 to this community for all new things I am learning by following clever people 😊
This is the way. And bonus points if you go the extra kilometer and say: “If you believe these assumptions, here’s your estimate or bound. If you believe this other assumption set, this is your estimate or bound.”
