Hey, checking in to say that n=250 *eligible* Black women signed up for SECURE study in the last *7 days*👀🤯
Nvm the colonizers, I 🛑them easily!

I told y’all Black women were going to help me get this data, and then we’re going to DEMAND change. Watch.

@GermsAndNumbers Just quietly panicking that my data might be useless and that the new collection methods we've worked on are now obsolete

@eeid2023 White-tailed deer in an urban neighborhood of Pittsburgh - I was shocked to find her and immediately thought of @swientist SARS-CoV-2 transmission research (I did not cough on her) @MegganCraft #eeid2023

Highlighting disease forecasting challenges by @alexvespi and ending on a critical note - the old model of modeling is out! #eeid2023

Deciding to say hello at a conference: have I actually met this person or do I have a parasocial relationship with them because of Twitter? 🤔 #eeid2023

@EpiEllie I was just having a discussion about this - evidence can sometimes be context-specific! As you've said, we need to focus on what we are trying to achieve, and consider whether the "evidence" we'd like to apply is relevant or even "evidence" at all

@GermsAndNumbers @MattMietchen Well done Dr Mietchen!!

Lots of people have preconceived ideas about what working in a university must be like.

Here, UCU member Chris has a message about the reality of it for far too many staff.

Share the video.

Support the strike.

Join us in demanding change.

@lyzl Fun fact: the health benefit of a heterosexual marriage is only seen for the man! Men have this health benefit, women do not.

Today, university staff go on strike

They are striking for decent pay, pensions and secure employment

They are striking for students

They are striking for the future of higher education

RT IF YOU BACK THEM

@avsmph @jfeldman_epi For me, the RE is something that makes people more similar to each other, usually in a way that's hard to define (and may not be captured well by other covariates in the model). So then the RE could be insurance coverage, households, pts with the same physician, etc. 2/2

[Dr. Rachel Sippy is on STRIKE! @GermCurves]

@avsmph @jfeldman_epi I think it helps to think of multilevel/hierarchical models as a type of mixed effects model (model with RE), and then it's easier for the concept of an RE to be applied to many things. 1/2

Putting this as a quote in a lecture

Kind reminder that not every dataset is full of secret truths just waiting to be revealed by a capable analyst
