Excited to share results from a 4-year first-ever RCT across US jails. We (Crystal Yang & I) find that death rates are much higher in jails than officially reported & health care accreditation improves staff coordination, quality & save lives.

The repo is still private. (My custom theme needs work. 🙃) Will share a public release!

Clarification: these were entirely different major projects published in stats, econ, and clinical journals. No LPUs! Then synthesized together in a policy brief.

Indeed. Many successful academics are miserable because they are always trying to accumulate more high-profile successes. There is no enough.

Academics from poorer socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to
- not publish
- have outstanding publication records
- introduce more novel scientific concepts
- less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards.

The United States has moved to deracialize kidney diagnostics. The move addresses major health-equity issues — but it also shines a light on a problematic clinical test.

Was a pre-med junior when a faculty member sent me a flyer about a new program called the Summer Institute for Training in Biostatistics

Had never heard of 'biostatistics' as a field; sounded like exactly what I wanted to do

Was accepted into the program, ultimately led to a PhD in biostatistics

What's the moment of luck that's had the biggest impact for your academic career? For me, it was how I wouldn't have gotten a PhD fellowship if it wasn't for the 1st-ranked person declining, which meant that I was awarded the fellowship as 2nd-ranked applicant. That was my last shot at a PhD.

Interested in all broad feedback. 🙂 We discuss barriers to uptake in the course and potential solutions. I wanted to hear about current challenges people face to incorporate additional issues. Every organization, field, etc has different barriers.

Sherri Rose @sherrirose.bsky.social · Nov 22

Collaborative writing is indeed a challenge when not everyone uses the same ecosystem. We currently use quarto, but not all collaborators do. So this might involve exporting a word file and merging those comments back into the .qmd. Not a seamless solution, but better than some others we've used.

This course is required for some of our PhD students (depends on discipline).
