It´s happening and @hggaddy.bsky.social is discussing, among other issues, how temporal disaggregation for time series analysis of mortality is a solution for a need for spatial disaggregation - which creates death toll underestimation!

It's finally official! As of today I am a Professor of Formal Demography ( but technically we teach everything ) at the Faculty of Economics in my alma mater Cedeplar, in Brazil. I am waiting you all here in Brazil for a research stay with me!

One the best books I have read in a long time. An intellectual odyssey that interweaves Kleper, Maria Mitchell, Emily Dickinson, and Harriet Hosmer, to finish up with Rachel Carlson. All of that tinted with other personalities along the way like Nathaniel Hawthorne and Charles Darwin. Genius!

Inspiring keynote by @ridhikashyap.bsky.social as always ! More than food for thought, a proposal that revolutionizes the field of Demography.

Great talk by with @CosmoStrozza's on ‘Lifespan Inequalities and Mortality Risk across Social Determinants of Health.’ His research delves into accurately identifying high-risk individuals using a scoring system amid various social determinants of health.

Julia Almeida Calazans analyses the diversity in the mortality profile in 21 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, exploring how differences between and within countries can affect the overall diversity of the region. The most post-presentation-coffee-break discussions ! Way to go !

#PopHet23 Session 1 on 'Economics' has started. Hal Caswell introduced a new method for studying the variance in demographic outcomes in heterogeneous populations and proposes factorial mixture models to examine multiple sources of heterogeneity simultaneously.
