CSCAR was invaluable during my dissertation. Proud ISR has stepped up to keep this service running

Infographic promoting statistical consulting as campus wide support available at ISR; text reads STATISTICAL CONSULTING and Campus wide support available at ISR with an ISR logo in the center and surrounding icons representing data analysis and visualization including a bar chart with trend line, a magnifying glass over bar charts, a laptop showing charts, a workflow diagram with a checklist, and a group of three people collaborating at a laptop.

ISR is launching a new phase of statistical consulting modeled on CSCAR @ the University of Michigan, expanding access to data analysis and research support across campus.

Led by ISR researchers @bradytwest.bsky.social and @sungheelee.bsky.social, the program supports innovation across disciplines

There aren’t many things worse one can imagine than the loss of a child.

But the loss of a child to a vaccine preventable disease is a pain no parent or family should ever have to bear.

Sowing distrust about vaccines, arguably the greatest public health success of all time, is pure evil.

Team ID #meal-iodosis says they’ll take anyone who believes in vaccines so if that’s you, donate and log at HCWvsHunger.org

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Mark your calendars because #HCWvsHunger 2025 starts in just one week…

And if you donated early due to the shutdown keep those receipts because we are going to find a way to count them.

In this scoping review, @pngumich.bsky.social researchers highlight key methodological trends and gaps in the literature on the associations between DNA methylation and internalizing or externalizing traits or behaviors in children and adolescents.

A reminder that I will be giving this webinar today as part of ICPSR’s #SBECCC. This is the first time that I’ll be introducing this work, which we believe has great potential to improve the quality of imputations in a variety of settings. Would love to hear thoughts! Link below.

More sad news. I spent a good bit of time working with the CSCAR experts during my dissertation. They are a valuable resource at this university.

UMich cancels doctoral epidemiology program admissions for 2026 The University of Michigan School of Public Health will not admit a 2025-2026 admissions cycle cohort to its PhD in Epidemiologic Sciences program.

So sad for this news and the scholars who will miss the opportunity for a world class education.

And the good news continues — paper 1 from my dissertation is officially out!

We found living in a redlined neighborhood is associated with lower breast cancer survival, regardless of treatments or health insurance. More evidence that neighborhoods matter for health and breast cancer.

Historic Structural Racism and Perceived Stress in Adolescents This study is the first to examine the impact of structural racism from historic redlining practices on present-day perceived stress in adolescents.

Sarah Laurent, @colterm.bsky.social, Luke Hyde, @christophermonk.bsky.social, @helenmeier.bsky.social et al. find redlining - discriminatory lending practices from the early 20th century - continues to impact present day neighborhood poverty, resulting in increased adolescent stress. myumi.ch/61r26

Trump hits NIH with ‘devastating’ freezes on meetings, travel, communications, and hiring Researchers facing

What happened at NIH today www.science.org/content/arti...

The panic you're seeing on social media about this reflects how critical NIH funding is for most scientific research in the US, and relatedly the funding of universities, healthcare systems, and research organizations. Health spending constitutes 18% of GDP. NIH funding is deeply enmeshed in it.

Second verse, same as the first, a little bit louder and a whole lot worse…

A thread on the research and science that is done at the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan @um-src.bsky.social. I think many people think we just collect surveys--but we are so much more! Our focus is on interdisciplinary social science to understand human behavior through surveys
