Trikafta, the cystic fibrosis medication that took my son from cirrhosis of the liver a non-functioning pancreas and scarred lungs to 100% healthy functioning of all three was approved in 2019
Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.

Introducing my new #rstats package {kitchensink}
Not sure what the right model to fit is? Should you allow random intercepts, slopes, both? What do Bayesian methods say?
Just call {kitchensink::throw} to fit every possible model and see how your results differ!

Here’s last night’s story about the impact RFK Jr. is having on public health, and why the rate of diabetes in China is *not* fifty percent. Can you hear us, Robert? Robert, listen to us: you have to stop acting like half of China has diabetes. It’s wrong, and also very weird! youtu.be/8H34jcpEsFs

That "immortal time" is so frequent in survival analyses for #causalinference is fascinating.
Because "immortal time" doesn't exist in the data, *we* create it when misanalyzing the data.
Our new paper pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39494894/ summarizes why immortal time arises & how to prevent it.
