Thanks to @fnr.lu for supporting @spilleron.bsky.social with this #RESCOMLectureSeries on #CausalInferenceMethodsForRealWorldData, a valuable step toward integrating real-world data and causal inference into Luxembourg’s research landscape! 3/3🧵
As @spilleron.bsky.social , @paulineduquenne.bsky.social and I showed Peter around the @uni.lu Campus, we had interesting discussions about the challenges & opportunities for epidemiology in our small but multicultural country. Hope this won’t be the last time we cross paths in Luxembourg! 2/3🧵
It was a real pleasure to welcome Dr. @pwgtennant.bsky.social to Luxembourg 🇱🇺!
He gave an inspiring talk on causal inference, and his contagious enthusiasm sparked a genuine interest in applying these methods in Luxembourg. 1/3🧵
RFK Jr has promised to release a report on the causes of autism in September. To prepare, it's a good idea to make sure we know what the common types of observational research biases are. First up: confounding by indication.

#CausalIntroCourse
Definitely!
Thank you for your input 👍
Let's think this through. I'll draw a DAG, seek diverse input and feedback, and come back to this post. Do you have anything in mind?

@spilleron.bsky.social a good example for the journal club 😆
Before #CausalInferenceIntro:
"Hmm, this association looks unusual" 🤔
After #CausalInferenceIntro:
"Have you considered the possibility of collider bias?" 🤓

My favourite part of the #CausalIntroCourse!
@pwgtennant.bsky.social pushed us right over the causal cliff! 😆
#CausalIntroCourse Day 3
Ready for #CausalIntroCourse Day 2.
Today's menu: DAGs and Propensity Scores
Thank you @spilleron.bsky.social for the tip :)
Two years ago: World Parkinson's Conference ➡️ Today: Start of the Introduction to causal inference course with @pwgtennant.bsky.social in Leeds #CausalIntroCourse
Excellent presentation by my PhD supervisor @chrismccrum.bsky.social 👏 well deserved
Everything set up for the #ISPGR2025
Next speaker: @chrismccrum.bsky.social, the promising scientist of 2025 👏

2🧵: 🚨 Why does this happen? We still need more research to understand the reasons behind these differences. But one thing is clear: healthcare and research need to consider these gender differences to improve care for everyone affected by Parkinson's.
1🧵: Through an in-depth analysis of 802 individuals, we found that women tend to have a slower progression of memory loss, sleep issues, walking difficulties, balance problems, and motor symptoms.

🧠 Parkinson’s: Not Just Frequency, But Progression Too
Did you know that Parkinson's disease is 1.4 times more common in men than women? But that’s not the whole story—men also experience a faster worsening of symptoms compared to women.🧵
