Data cleaning is a huge part of data analysis that isn’t often taught. What are some ideas how to teach data cleaning skills to new epidemiologists? #SPC

Food is a critical component of cultural heritage. When a housing development corporation puts the nutrition and culture of its residents first, you realize the impact sectors outside of health can truly have on community health & well-being. https://t.co/QWAy97l2fM

People are biased.
Data is biased, in part because people are biased.
Algorithms trained on biased data are biased.
But learning algorithms themselves are not biased.
Bias in data can be fixed.
Bias in people is harder to fix. https://t.co/6pAHiDC6aN

How do you know if an intervention or policy is having its intended effect? @swalek reports from our Seattle #pophealth2019 conference. #pophealth #populationhealth #policy https://t.co/UEQs0kRR5Z

Since our health is shaped by the places in which we live, learn, work, and play, the projects may span education, housing, nutrition, income, health care, and various other sectors.

Very important guidepost as we plan to #transform #health #together.

Useful info for health research- “The central force for eliminating bad habits, according to Wood, is ‘friction’: if we can make bad habits more inconvenient, then inertia can carry us in the direction of virtue, without requiring us to be strong.” https://t.co/Pr2m97FP41

Had a great discussion with wiser and more experienced researchers during a PhD student retreat yesterday. This question was asked - when is generalizability in research a good thing and *who* benefits [who doesn't]?
