Very interesting read: “​solidarity-based [epid] is the explicit practice of [epid] aimed at dismantling structural inequities in health through the promotion of shared interests, with the goals of overcoming domination and exploitation and, ultimately, of achieving justice.” #EpiSky #SocEpi

Public health is under attack. It’s not enough to fight back, we need to make our field better for everyone.

Today’s E is for Epi guest post by @jessieish.bsky.social & Nadia Abuelezam asks “what would a solidarity-based epidemiology look like?”

Thank you for the confirmation! I certainly did communicate with the AE and let them know that this was unacceptable and an excessive request.

Very interesting! I recently received a review where the reviewer literally demanded I cite at least 15 articles by the same first author. Will this be considered a misconduct or citation extortion? Asking for a friend…🙈

Prof. Zhanhu Guo, at Northumbria University (a professional citation extortionist) suffers serious consequences for his misconduct (of course not): he must attend a couple of ethics seminars for a year to learn that it's not acceptable to force people to cite dozens of his articles. See FBS Shorts:

And...chef's kiss 🤌 on the footnote, @defendpublichealth.bsky.social and @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social. 👏👏👏 #IHATnotMAHA
Excerpt from article in The Guardian, which states: "The first MAHA report “contains misinformation and uses references that don’t even exist”, she [Dr. Elizabeth Jacobs] noted. The Defend Public Health report has a tongue-in-cheek note that it was “created by real human experts relying on real rigorous data”."

Hard agree 💯💯 Feedback should specific and direct without the ‘idiot’ word. It should provide solutions not more problems and confusions.

How to give feedback.
This is a comic strip titled "Savage Chickens" by Doug Savage showing "How To Give Feedback - Lessons 1-5." The comic demonstrates proper feedback techniques using a simple stick figure character speaking to a chicken character throughout five panels: 1. "Be Specific" - Shows the transformation from vague feedback ("You are an idiot") to specific feedback ("You are a total idiot"). 2. "Use 'I' Statements" - The stick figure says "I think you are an idiot" to the chicken. 3. "Make sure your feedback is timely" - The stick figure tells the chicken "You were an idiot just now." 4. "Word your feedback as a question" - The stick figure asks the chicken "Are you an idiot?" 5. "Provide specific suggestions" - The stick figure suggests to the chicken "Maybe try being less of an idiot?" The comic uses humor to satirize corporate feedback training by applying professional feedback guidelines to consistently insulting content, highlighting how following the form of good feedback practices doesn't necessarily make the feedback constructive or appropriate.
