Hi #epitwitter #epiverse #malaria community: in drug treatment, we accept that combination therapy is a good way to prevent drug-resistance emergence. And that #tripletherapy is likely to be more preventative than #doubletherapy. 1/
Hey demography/epi friends:
What are your favorite measures of the intensity of mortality in one group or the difference/change in mortality across multiple groups or over time?
Got any cutting-edge innovations (there are a bunch!) or forgotten favorites? I’m compiling a list. I’ve got tons but I want yours!
Hi #epitwitter #epiverse #influenza mastodon, when does influenza transmission occur in the tropics where there’s no winter to concentrate all respiratory virus transmission into a single short season? There has been a lot of focus on this question for the past 15 years. 1/
SurvLT: Calculating survival probabilities from a Life Table
The following R code presents an illustrative example on the calculation of the survival probabilities of a set of individuals based on life tables.

This is how you know who is valued in your organization.
Whose stories are believed?
Whose complaints are responded to?
Who is paid the most?
Who is given multiple chances?
Whose bad behaviors are not addressed?
Who benefits from organizational policies?

RT @curious_vii
I’m a huge fan of @yudapearl’s “The Book of Why,” esp his 3-level causal reasoning model.
But it got me wondering…
Could there be even higher levels of causal reasoning?
So I asked GPT-4, and it produced a speculative take w/ 6 additional levels.
Here they are, from 1–9
