Debbie M Jakubowski, PhD

@ADAlthousePhD I dunno, my moms friends sister said she likes to host nuclear war sleepovers and it’s always turned out fine…

I too stand with JAMA in saying that nuclear war is bad and we shouldn’t do one

Ok, my prediction for #Traylor: they’re gonna get hitched, she’ll become invested in Travis' health and pour millions into TBI research after discovering the risks. Swifties unite and advocate, TBI progress made, and a new era for the NFL. 🏈💕 Sigh. A girl can dream.

@MaartenvSmeden I’m going to start sneaking spoilers for movies into my manuscripts… “surprise!!”

Straight from the cookbook of p-hacking: “Add a twist of surprise to the paper”

@Naveena10 Thank you!! 💕

@DebJakubowski Congratulations!🥰

The best way you can help a family with a baby is to not slow them down. Figure out their routine, and then don’t get in the way or make them wait for you. With gratitude, a tired mom who is hosting guests. (May this also serve as an overdue announcement of our fav Little Dude)

@robertwplatt This thread prompted me to pull up this paper by Debbie Lawlor et al., getting at this idea academic.oup.com/ije/article/45…

But another design that tests the assumptions of those CC studies *might* provide new and useful information. All this to say, as others have already said ad infinitum, think about your question in your specific context.

An under-appreciated point about study design: the question is not "Which study design is better?", nor is it "Which study design is better for this question?" It is, "Which study design is better for this question, right now?".

@statsepi I have been largely quiet on here but I spend a lot of time absorbing content. So much appreciation for those who are willing to share their expertise on here. But also F this place.

@camjpatrick I hope your situation is better than mine was! But I think it’s normal and OK to burn out occasionally. Remind yourself that it’s a marathon and find your pace. Consistency pays off more than anything.

Fun fact: I quit the first PhD program I enrolled in. It wasn’t the right fit, and I wasn’t ready for it. Ten years later, with so much more experience under my belt, I graduated with what I would consider a relatively fun doctorate (because I was ready and it was a good fit!)

@StatGirlLAM @drexelpubhealth Stealing all of the chairs from the SPH (I mean, sitting is the new smoking, right!?)

Last day as chair @drexelpubhealth! How should I spend it? Wrong answers only.

@DrCatherineB So disturbing. And too many people taking these statements at face value.

I gasped when he said this. Like wtf??? And everyone else just STOOD THERE. What in the world

@DrCatherineB It sure is something. 😬

@DebJakubowski I’m not sure how much longer I can stomach it

Watching the Republican presidential debate. Why do the questions feel like what would be asked at a beauty pageant?

@KellyOSheaMPH Next time I’m in Chicago we’re toasting with *real champagne* to #PhDone

@KellyOSheaMPH Congratulations!!! 🥂

They're just letting everyone have a PhD now. (Me, I have one) (Pending final documents) (Me)

@KellyOSheaMPH I waited until I deposited my final document

If you changed your professional social media/email, when did you put my PhD after your name? Asking for someone who is defending tomorrow. (Me.)

@PWGTennant "Private parts"? Am I meant to take this seriously? 😂

If a mother feeding her child makes you uncomfortable, that's on you. Learn to sit with, cope with, or - ideally - relate to that discomfort. Don't try to avoid your own discomfort by controlling others.
