@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
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
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.

@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
@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
