Honestly, it's wild to watch the nutrition community continue to get behind a term like UPF (defined by looking at a ingredients and giving a 'bad' label by the presence of an 'industrial' additive) while this exact, scientifically hollow tactic is being rolled out to scare folks away from vaccines.
Ultra-processed foods – what’s the impact?
In a new Lancet Series, experts warn a global rise in #UPFs presents a growing public health threat.

I'm concerned that this Lancet series on UPFs has been led by a narrow group of popular book authors who've already made up their minds on the harms of processing.

Ultra-processed foods are reshaping global diets, health, & the planet.
Join us for the global launch of a new Series on UPFs & Human Health on 19 Nov. 🌍
Experts will unpack the science, policy, & politics of #UPFs.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Did we learn anything of practical value?
This field appears to feed on itself -- I applied clocks, I found associations, therefore clocks show associations, therefore more clocks.
Getting out of this loop would involve understanding what clocks mean.

Semaglutide Slows Epigenetic Aging in People with HIV-associated lipohypertrophy: Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial
Semaglutide is a once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist that has been proposed as a gerotherapeutic, yet no data exist on its effects on epigenetic aging. We therefore conducted a post-hoc epigenetic anal...

I fail to understand the value of using epigenetic aging clocks in any situation.
They are being correlated with...stuff. Name the exposure/condition, someone will find a perturbation in one of today's many epigenetic aging clocks.
More expensive and less meaningful than a fortune telling machine.

I've put a few #Rstats function's I've used over the years into two R packages - feel free to use:
{lukesRlib} useful for working with test statistics (eg "extreme p-vals"), tidying model output, performing PheWAS, etc
{gwasRtools} determine loci (distance or LD), get nearest gene

The strain on scientific publishing 📄:
We've got issues. Scientists overwhelmed, editors overworked, constant special issue invites, mass article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!?

#episky I'm updating a reading list on epidemiology and study design for graduate students. I'm looking for recently published textbooks. What do you recommend?
