Congratulations!!
Thank you! Iβm really looking forward to it. See you in St. Louis.
PAA loves first timer attendees! Yay @elijahjwatson.bsky.social - we are having a special mixer for early career PAA folk from 4:30-6pm on Weds May 6 before the traditional Welcome Mixer at 6pm and we'd love to have you join us @popassocamerica.bsky.social
Excited for my first PAA! I'm looking forward to sharing my dissertation work on how the timing of prenatal exposure to the 1983 politicalβeconomic crisis in the Philippinesβfollowing the assassination of opposition leader Ninoy Aquinoβshaped outcomes from birth to epigenetic aging in midlife.
Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible βAmerica at 250!β achievement

This is an Average Treatment Effect on the Treated appreciation post. I love ATTs. Go ATTs.
Thinking now how it would be a funny bit to include a robustness check adjusting for multilingualism in a dissertation footnote
Fave part was that Nature Aging paper catching strays :)
(cries while finishing a dissertation on biological aging β the entire field is kind of an APC minefield... e.g, see the great critical review below π« )
New blog post about the age-period-cohort identification problem!
In which, for the first time ever, I ask "What's the mechanism?" and also suggest that sometimes you may actually *not* be interested in causal inference.

A week in the life:
Monday: postdoc interview, rejected same day (at least they were fast π)

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareβs Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. Itβs dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
It's time to abolish Trumpβs ICE.
they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
And what are they learning? Experts on the formation of internal security services in authoritarian regimes point to a sense of impunity as a warning sign. Regime officials abuse their power when they know they will be protected, and even praised, for doing so. Over the course of weeks and months, we have seen images of DHS officials abusing American citizens and immigrants alike, including killing them. What we do not hear is regime officials calling for credible investigations into such abuses, or even expressing any concerns. Renee Goodβs killer was announced innocent, and both Good and her wife was instead the subject of an investigation, a perversion of justice so obvious that an FBI agent and half-dozen career Department of Justice prosecutors assigned to Minnesota resigned.
What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...
βmodeling difficult conversationsβ βdiverse viewpointsββ just throw all the neolib + RW talking points into a blender β to what end? who is this for? if only we all knew how to have difficult conversations, we would have a robust public health system that is accountable to all publics?
They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

An innocent child.
America, let this sink in. This is what the government is doing right in front of our eyes.
