Delighted to present my main PhD work using microsimulation policy modelling to explore how #UBI might influence #mentalhealth in UK working age adults at #EPH2023 💰🧠 Abstract available here: https://t.co/EaRDMUswg7
Delighted to present my work with @UrbanHealthProf on social mobility, income inequality and mortality in Canada and the US at #EPH2023@EUPHActs Great to see a lot of interest, especially from Nordic colleagues!

New paper out: "Hostile Epistemology"!
The basic idea: we seem so willing to attribute the misinformation crisis and the "post-truth" world to bad people being stupid and lazy. An alternate explanation: it's the systematic exploitation of our cognitive vulnerabilities.🧵:
@truesolicitor I'm reminded of this from @DanNeidle 👇 Is it fair to say that even if it's in your interest to delete a post, you're generally still entitled to publish or refer to the SLAPP letter/email itself, despite some solicitors disingenuously claiming otherwise? https://t.co/31grdicq0k
Important news for everyone who cares about free speech. The Solicitors Regulation Authority has banned solicitors from sending libel threats falsely labelled as "confidential" or "without prejudice", to bully the recipients into not publishing them.

@Jxspxrth I'll rephrase my first point: you could read the thread as
- making a general point using academia as an example, but not limited to academia, and
- not necessarily motivated by self interest
and if so you're talking at cross purposes. Apart from that I think you've been clear.
@Jxspxrth @kirbyconrod It's possible to be happy with one's job and still be angry that other people's jobs suck though? Also the idea that proletarianisation is totally distinct from and not an intrinsic feature of capitalism seems like a bold assumption that deserves a bit more unpacking?
Another 🆕 paper applying #causalepi methods to income & mental health in UK cohort data 💰 🧠 This one in @IntJEpidemiol focuses on identifying effects of transitions into and out of poverty on prevalence of common MH problems (CMDs) [1/4] #epitwitter 🔗 https://t.co/AKrdzHvp7Y
Our 🆕 paper in Psychological Medicine (@CambridgeCore) examines how far income explains the effect of unemployment on mental health in UK working-age adults using #causalepi methods 💰 🧑💼 🧠 - and you may be surprised by the results [1/5] #epitwitter 🔗 https://t.co/jBwPyLh2sD
Learning or teaching #causalinference?
✨ Here are some highlights from our new causal inference glossary ✨
This would've been a lifesaver when I first started wading through the dense and impostor-syndrome-inducing causal inference lit

Had a fantastic and inspirational four days at #EPH2022 in Berlin with Team @theSPHSU 💭 🇩🇪 So much to think about as we all head home, and so many exciting conversations had + new connections made. Roll on Dublin 2023! 🇮🇪
Like good documentation for software, consensus on what "the basics" look like is easy to take for granted in more established disciplines, but need continuous effort to develop.
