There's an increasing interest in exposome-related research using GWAS methods. I'm not an expert & not a fan of data-driven approaches, which look like p-fishing exercises.

Does anyone know a resource which criticises these approaches or convinces me that they're good?

Putting the finishing touches on a grant proposal—only to realise that a recently published paper is strikingly similar to what I had planned to propose!

Happy to see this published! I had been thinking of writing something similar when I found the time.

For all researchers working with quantitative data, this is a must-read 👇

Now I finally have a ref to attach to all my peer reviews! 😊https://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WNL.0000000000210171

👋 Need help!

Is there a way I can estimate the causal effect of sleep on cancer risk in the scenario below?

DAGITTY tells me "Incorrectly adjusted" when adjusted on lifestyle factors at T-1 and T0.

TIP: If you're planning a comparative effectiveness study in observational data, particularly a target trial emulation study, then please pre-register a study protocol!

It makes a huge difference to how much readers will trust (or doubt) the analytical choices and results.

👋🏻Hello,

It is said that there will be a shortage of #oncologists in the coming years.

Would anyone have a reference for that statement?

Predict != Usefully Predict.

I'll bet that in the next 3 years we'll have a few hundred papers on micobiome + machine learning to predict long covid + some cluster analysis, and zero of them will lead to clinically useful insights.

I asked ChatGPT to draw a #DAG between sleep and cancer risk. Here is its reply:

It drew one 🤯. I did not give it any other information. I will try to provide more info now ...
