To me, the advantage of causal inference methods lies in the explicit formulation of what one aims the estimate and the assumptions made. While you cannot prove causality, you can agree or disagree with assumptions and you can do sensitivity analyses (triangulation)

Great tool to help migrate from the bird app to bluesky - use early and often before it gets blocked!

The @BrighamVascular experience with Snuffbox AVFs: 1-yr 2* patency 92%, reintervention common. 87% of pre-ESRD pts used AVF for incident HD - not catheter. Snuffbox is distal-most access, in line with @VascularSVS guidance. @CKeithOzaki @BrighamSurgery

Looking forward to be working with @CSPH_BWH as I start my research years! The best part of my new work from home setup lurks beneath my desk. I think his hopes to apply for a fellowship next year are a little far-fetched 🙃
