Outdoor workers are 3 times as likely to develop skin cancer as indoor workers. Dr @cherylepeters.bsky.social will use existing data to estimate the rates and costs of skin cancers caused by workplace sun exposure. The goal: to guide national efforts to reduce sun exposure and prevent future cases.

Interesting disclaimer from a group of authors who had been helping develop the latest ROBINS risk of bias tool but jumped ship rather than put their names to the publication researchonline.lshtm.ac.uk/id/eprint/46... #episky

As an epidemiologist myself, I’m unclear how these computer scientists and economists think they’re using epidemiology to own history??? Kindly don’t, friends.

Vinay Prasad just got fired from the FDA because he was utterly unqualified and could not meet the moment. He can now go back to making his little YouTube videos chockablock with misinformation and continue to deceive the public that way.

Not to self-promote but I was involved in the Can-PCC collective on the subcommittee about prevention of PCC and we recommended asymptomatic masking in almost all settings, even with the limited evidence that the “gold standard” RCTs provide: can-pcc.recmap.org/plrs?recomme...

Kelly, this sucks very badly. I totally understand orgs wanting to balance risks and harms but citing the propagandist Cochrane review as “unbiased” is actually deeply offensive.

Returning to the office isn’t the answer to Canada’s productivity problem — and it will add pressure to urban housing
Returning to the office isn’t the answer to Canada’s productivity problem — and it will add pressure to urban housing
Companies are betting on office mandates to fix sluggish productivity, but what workers need most are affordable homes, shorter commutes and real opportunities to grow, not added stress.

So are all the news outlets saying Zohran Mamdani is using coded antisemitic language and if you read between the lines you can tell how bad he is going to make a big deal about the worlds richest man making a chatbot that advocates for Hitler?

I don't think NYT should know peace until they divulge the full chain of decision making that led to the laundering of Nazi propaganda against a leading anti-fascist politician the same day fascism was codified in Congress.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

This is nice! Researchers often ask (if they do at all) more nuance about gender than sex (which makes sense!) but I appreciate the consideration of sexes outside the binary.

Jesus Christ, Fauci isn’t a “scientific insider”, he’s a public servant who was doing his job to keep people as safe as he could from infectious diseases using his decades of training and expertise!! Science isn’t some exclusive club with a secret handshake or something.

I'm going to tell you something the government won't (and I can't believe I'm the one saying this): coronavirus damages the placenta. Women who are infected experience double the baseline rate of stillbirths.

Exactly. Canada Post is not "a company" - it's a public service we all want and need and it cannot nor should not be compared to for-profit companies, especially not the least ethical companies of all time.
