Self-promotion feels odd with so much chaos in the world, but I worked with two terrific students who deserve recognition. We find that educational polygenic scores are predictive of physical limitations among older adults with European ancestry, but not among those with African ancestry.

I really liked this idea of using a histogram as a legend in a choropleth map (since land isn't unemployed; people are), so I made a little guide to doing it with #rstats, {ggplot2}, and {patchwork} www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...

Happy to see this great op-ed in our local newspaper. If you’re lucky enough to have a local paper, this is a good way to reach out to people in your community. Weaving facts in with a personal story or important local issues is an effective way to get people to think and change minds.

A little bit about my research: I am studying geographic disparities in health and mortality and their environmental and structural determinants. My previous research focused on state and county levels, but I am now shifting to an individual-level approach for better causal inference & explanation.

Are you tired of analyzing your nominal and ordinal variables like its the 1950s? Then read @sociologicalsci.bsky.social today and see if ME inequality and total ME are right for you. We develop new methods for summarizing effects for nominal/ordinal independent and dependent variables.

The main obstacle for health scholars studying the political economy of health is how to measure political economy. Political economy and poverty scholars may be interested in exploring how these structures shape population health.

Are there any health, political economy, or poverty scholars, etc., who would be interested in compiling a list of political economy measures at state, county, or other scales (e.g., state policies, local government spending) and possibly collaborating on several projects?
