Greenspaces are not all the same. See our new collab with Dr. Huaqing Wang on greenspace morphology, and amazing work by EHS student (BIOS alum) Fred Huang! @EmoryRollins

We are recruiting a Clinical Research Coordinator! Reach out and apply if you are interested in climate and health research at Emory. social.icims.com/viewjob/pt1732…

@Rodrigo_Puentes Hope you enjoyed it! I have to miss it this year :(.

Back to the origins. 📈📊

📢Y. Zhang, @howardhchang et al. (@EmoryRollins) propose a Bayesian spatial-temporal varying coefficients model incorporating measures of infection activity to estimate excess deaths associated with respiratory infections 👉doi.org/10.1093/jrsssa…

@EmoryRollins @EmoryBIOS PhD students sharing new stat methods for env epi at #isee2024!!

It's been a tough day doomscrolling on environmental, reproductive and lgbtq health

@SiaraRouzer Microbiology Lab and Real Analysis II. Took them in the same semester....I guess I like them together and not as separate courses 😆

Looking to prove a point with my undergrad RAs. Can any fulltime scientists (all career stages) share if they received a 'C' grade or lower on their undergraduate transcripts? Bonus points for sharing the class title.

Sharing our largest study on heat waves and birth outcomes in the US + Dr. Lyndsey Darrow's interview. Congrats to all my co-authors. @publichealthunr @UtahChemE @Newman89Andy @NCAR_RAL @YaleSPH Preterm and Early-Term Delivery After Heat Waves jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Rethinking environmental exposure as a probability distribution. Sharing our recent work by postdoc Yuzi Zhang! academic.oup.com/biometrics/art…

@ENAR_ibs Attacking my to-do list so that I can enjoy ENAR over the next few days!!!

Day 1 of #ENAR2024 is in full swing! What are you up to today?

@rdpeng Yes! Fells Point!

Had our first date here 18 years ago. The details are fuzzy except that I was *trying* to read Fuentes et al (2006) Biometrics while waiting...funny the things one remembers

Reviewing applications for our Biostatistician position and surprised to see that most applicants don't include a cover letter. 🤨Would have really liked to at least know the why or highlights....much more than those dense lists on resume.

The Summer Institute in Statistics and Modeling in Infectious Diseases (SISMID) is coming to @EmoryRollins, and we could not be more excited. 🤩 Check out our great 2024 line-up! Scholarship applications are open, and registration opens next week. sph.emory.edu/SISMID/index.h…

Yes to thinking about overdispersion in case-crossover design! arxiv.org/abs/2401.14338

Last day of class tradition.

@donghai_liang I think I need to channel my inner exposure scientist and do some controlled experiment to see the effectiveness of this thing too. :)

@howardhchang This is awesome! Have you done a side-by-side comparison at one of the GA EPD site to examine the measurement error? 🤣🤣

What happens when you talk about the danger of air pollution all the time and ask the hubby to buy a purifier...... just have to embrace this massive thing as part of the decor!

@ZHM_DisasterDr We also have an indoor PM sensor. Always crazy to see what happens when windows are open now (when living near traffic).

I appreciate graduate schools that ask < 5 questions on their recommendation form.
