“The journal Epidemiology began publication in January 1990 and completed its 35th volume at the end of 2024. In the month before our first issue, Taylor Swift was born, and over the subsequent decades we have shared with her a similar trajectory to unparalleled heights of fame and impact.”

I am headed to Capitol Hill with @geronsociety.bsky.social! We are advocating for science and aging research funding through The NIH. This is a new experience for me, and I'm excited to talk about my work in aging research and the impact it has on all people.

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.

That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.

Show me a better investment than that.

Solutions survival bias? 1. Conduct a trial, a target trial, or instrumental variable 2. Start study before events have occurred, 3. Take advantage of pops with different structure of competing risks, 4. Use assoc with age at recruitment, 5. Don't do it #SER2024 @epiresearch.bsky.social
