HIRING!

We offer 3 fully funded PhD positions to work on research methodology with experts in a great medical research environment.

Everyone: send me your best blog post/short papers that explain why you can't just interpret the pre-post differences in a randomized experiment as estimates of the causal effects.

I'm looking for something straightforward but well-explained to send to confused authors.

Emotions are reactions to situations we encounter in daily life. In our new paper in Psych Review (psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...; with @oisinryan.bsky.social and @fdabl.bsky.social), we take a first step towards building a generative model for emotion dynamics based on this simple principle 1/4

last year TTE was one day out of five, and we're planning a similar emphasis this year. We take a broad interdisciplinary approach, with plenty of critical discussion of the different approaches to causal inference that we cover (where they are coming from, what problems they do/do not solve)

Interested in how to use non-experimental data to answer causal research questions? Mystified by DAGs and counterfactuals? Want to learn what Target Trial Emulation is all about?

Sign up now for the 2nd edition of our summer school, 7-11 July in Utrecht, with @vanamsterdam.bsky.social & BPdeVries

Excited to offer this course together with @vanamsterdam.bsky.social and Bas-Penning de Vries, bringing together our expertise from the world of statistics/social science, data science and epidemiology respectively. Check out the day-to-day programme and reach out here with any questions!

Want to learn how observational data can give insight into causal effects? How to specify a target trial & use prediction models for causal insight?
