Hello to new followers! I’m a bit stunned by this byproduct of BlueSky’s sudden explosion. I actually haven’t shared much here recently.
In an effort to catch you all up, in this thread I’ll share some highlights from the past months, with a particular focus on #HealthEquityEngineering.

The vote was 51-48, so couldn't pass a filibuster if it came to an actual bill and not a resolution, but it's a start.

The general vibe we are getting across #NIH institutes is deeply bleak — that the agency is nearly, if not already dead.
Top people are leaving or have left. Nearly everyone's looking for other jobs. People still care about what NIH was, but are growing resigned to its death.

I just tried getting ChatGPT to create a visualization for this outline:
• Who is impacted by biases
• How are biases written into letters
• Terminology and examples
• Examples
• Summary and tips
• Letter exercise
• Conclusion
I gave it two tries, because 👀
Try reading the results!!! 🤣

Beautiful & thoughtful thread. Read the whole thing.
I’ve been thinking a lot about emotional bandwidth, in particular because I think the next stage of being a country will require a wider swath of people to have a larger bandwidth before being dysregulated.

Important for statisticians and folks who use Likert and Visual Analog Scales
Related to the recent discussion on VAS measurement in EMA, my student Siqi Sun recently submitted some work we did on understanding the measurement properties of more traditional Likert scales vs. VAS scales: A 🧵
Don't Let Your Likert Scales Grow Up To Be Visual Analog Scales: Understanding the Relationship Between Number of Response Categories and Measurement Error
The use of Visual Analog Scales (VAS), which can be broadly conceptualized as items where the response scale is 0-100, has surged recently due to the convenience of digital assessments. However, there...

Over the next week or so, I will be sharing adorable pics of my dog, Cora.
Cora embodies love while holding her own firm opinions. She loves stuffed animals and selects a different one to carry around each day. She loves chasing her ball or burying it in snow. She loves her double bed or couch.

Job candidates in methods for medical research - a key question for you to ask:
Does the pay scale for this job class exceed the NIH salary cap?
Too many people focus only on the range of starting salary. You need to know where you’re going.
