Big congratulations, Annie, great work! 🎉 I just read the paper and found it very interesting to compare the differences and similarities with my findings in Sweden.
My first empirical paper from my PhD is out! It examines biomedical ontology in women’s reproductive health through endometriosis. I expand my concept of “ontological friction” showing how symptoms move thru porous configurations w/o coordinating as “disease”.

Judith Butler in Who's Afraid of Gender?: “The weaponization of this fearsome phantasm of ‘gender’ is authoritarian at its core.”
Looks like we need a new category:
☑️ all of the above
Vad roligt, grattis! Jag kommer gärna på disputationen. I Albano eller?
Börjar låta som en bok!
My book Hegel on History, Politics and Philosophy is just published. Essays, old and nw, with the last essay dealing with Hegel today. link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Per The Economist/YouGov, half of Americans support ABOLISHING ICE.
Literally, "abolishing."

"I begin without proving the importance of my subject. I shall be asked whether I am a prince or a lawgiver that I write on Politics? I reply that I am not, and that that is why I write on Politics. If I were a prince or a legislator, I would not waste my time saying what needs doing; I would do it, or keep silent." The Social Contract (1762) by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

Just adding onto your point: Goldenberg points out that the EBM framing seems to promote this misunderstanding about those who critique it. After all, who would oppose using the best evidence in medical decision-making?

Fascinating. The immune system is fascinating.

Can feed algorithms shape what people think about politics? Our paper "The Political Effects of X's Feed Algorithm" is out today in Nature and answers "Yes."

I've thought of this place ever since I began the PhD.
Lovely reel with shots of the interior (and Swedish narration):

Thanks! Haha yes, I hope so too!
A yellow wooden villa with a tower, surrounded by a yard, garden tables, and trees. Konditori Lyran is located in the southern part of Stockholm.
Just booked this cute villa, Konditori Lyran, for my PhD defense party in April!
Henrik Ibsen, Selma Lagerlöf, and Oscar II all used to party here. It was built in 1867, and according to legend, the Swedish expression "being at Lyran" (vara på Lyran), meaning being drunk, originated here.
More broadly, the key regulatory question has shifted: instead of “how do we filter out the junk science” – a goal well-supported by frequentist methods – FDA and drug companies are trying to use scarce clinical data as efficiently as possible to make informed determinations about each drug that crosses its desk. That’s where Bayesian statistics shines. The choice FDA now faces is not whether or not to rely on prior evidence; it’s whether to do so awkwardly, in its current frequentist framework – in which that borrowing is implicit and unstructured; or using the more structured approach offered by Bayesian statistics. The publication of this guidance suggests that FDA is starting to embrace the more structured approach.
The FDA recently published guidance on Bayesian statistics in clinical trials.
If there's one thing you read about it, let it be this great post by Adam Kroetsch:

It's probably also a product of media and social media (like X) influence.
Politikerna är inte i fas med väljarna – har de missat det?
"76 procent av svenskarna tycker att det är fel att utvisa barn som vuxit upp i Sverige när de fyllt 18 år om deras föräldrar får stanna."
"74 procent av regeringens väljare tycker att det är fel att ungdomarna utvisas."
New publication in @politicsgenderj.bsky.social!
Who perceives feminism as a threat, and why do a lot of women perceive feminism as threatening?
With @evaanduiza.bsky.social, we explore these questions in the context of Spain.

Sweden is deporting an 8-month-old alone to Iran. Lawmakers were warned this could happen before passing the law – now they're surprised. It's almost as if the government is becoming its own opposition in the absence of one.
There has also been an erosion of the welfare state, so support systems that used to exist are no longer there for younger generations.
"The observed patterns differ both from Sweden’s past and from trends in many other countries, underscoring that happiness and wellbeing are shaped by local conditions and can change over time. I believe we need to measure wellbeing as frequently and ambitiously as we measure economic growth."
"The findings add nuance to the image of Sweden as a happy country. While Sweden continues to rank high in global comparisons overall, large generational differences exist (...)
The age-related gaps in wellbeing are also much larger than differences linked to gender or country of birth."
"Young adults in Sweden feel significantly worse than older people in almost all areas of life. While older Swedes rank among the happiest in the world, young adults struggle with loneliness and psychological distress. These are the findings of a new large-scale study on flourishing in Sweden."
Sexual harassment widens the economic gap between women and men. Young women are increasingly at risk as they pursue their careers.

Got a citation alert for this new article – sounds very interesting!

Excited to join this panel discussion on endometriosis on February 26th at Accelerator (in Swedish).
The event brings together insights from research, medicine, and art to explore themes related to body, care, and knowledge.
