We are looking for some community feedback on 3 new dplyr functions!

- replace_when()
- recode_values()
- replace_values()

New tools for recoding (think, lookup tables!) and replacing (think, replace `-99` with `NA` in `col`) in the tidyverse - I'm pretty excited about these!

Remember this #rstats post? I wasn't the only one talking about it & the tidyverse team was listening 😎 #databs

New #dplyr functions? They're looking for feedback!!
🤔 replace_when, recode_values, replace_values

Ever needed to recode a variable based on whether it matches something in a named list? Have you ever used rlang's `!!!` operator? It's pretty dang cool. I feel like {rlang} is so cool, but so enigmatic 😂 #rstats

Here's a pic & gist (bc it's frustrating to not be able to copy/paste the pic) #databs

Excited (and a little nervous!) to be giving a talk on 30 June at the Turing’s CIIG seminar series. If you're interested in IPTW/propensity score methods, or in seeing some cat photos 🐾 (with the former obviously being more likely!), everyone’s welcome to join.

Midwit meme left panel: causal claims based on often untestable assumptions middle panel: nooo you cannot make claims like that our study merely shows that X predicts Y above and beyond Z future experimental studies are needed to what even is a cause according to hume right panel: causal claims based on often untestable assumptions

Curious what's new in Epidemiology An Introduction, 3rd ed?

More Pioneers of Epi highlighting collaborative work!

Clearer distinction between Associations and Causal Effects!

Updated chapter on Infectious Disease!

New chapters: Field Epidemiology and Advanced Topics!

And so much more!

Also had the chance to give a peer workshop on causal inference. It was rewarding to see how much clarity the frameworks bring to diverse areas and to learn from the discussions. The takeaway is that causal inference is less intimidating when seen as a way asking clear questions. #causalinference

We also had a brilliant causal inference workshop by Soc-Bs own @martindanka.bsky.social 🫶🏼

Martin managed to maintain a light-hearted, entertaining atmosphere that made learning complex concepts simple 👏🏻

I know the entire cohort has benefited from your hard work!

It was wonderful to finally meet one of my causal inference heroes @pwgtennant.bsky.social in person at our Soc-B PhD workshop. A brilliant and inspiring talk.

A fantastic and engaging talk from @pwgtennant.bsky.social at our PhD workshop yesterday 👏🏻

Inspiring to see someone I’ve followed for a long time be so passionate about applying causal inference to social epidemiology 🤩

Excited to implement what I’ve learnt 🫡
