I'm thrilled to share that I'm joining SUNY Downstate School of Public Health as Associate Professor in the Department of Community Health Sciences! I'm grateful to my mentors, colleagues, and collaborators and excited to join a public institution committed to health equity in Brooklyn and beyond.

There's still time to sign up for Advanced R and Intensive R for Epidemiologists!

Thankful for this little break from doom scrolling that just arrived in my mail today. Intermittently doing course prep for the class i teach next quarter and already suspect some nuggets from @sethjprins.bsky.social's book will make it in.

Can't say enough good things about this book. I recently co-wrote a primer on causal inference for anthropologists and this book addresses the exact tension we struggled with—how to grapple with exposures that are deemed not "manipulable" while incorporating the advances of modern causal inference.

I'm so happy to see my dear friend @sethjprins.bsky.social;;s new book!

When it comes to measuring cause and effect, Seth is one of the clearest, more rigorous thinkers out there. Don't sleep on this text!

It’s here!

In a bit of good news: it’s #followfriday!

This single issue is a great way to immediately differentiate people who understand what public health is from people who absolutely do not.
