In critiques of research you often hear about "samples of convenience" as being a major limitation. I've been thinking that for longitudinal research we need to introduce the terms "designs (i.e.timescales) of convenience" and "models of convenience" because they can be just as problematic. 1/6

My first-author paper is finally available online! We found that survival & coping beliefs are frequently cited as deterrents to suicide among older adults. However, individuals with a recent suicide attempt were less likely to report relationships as deterrents.🚨 www.ajgponline.org/article/S106...

The war on science, the war on gun violence prevention, and the war on higher education are all predictable and maddening components of this pathetic criminal’s pursuit of unlimited power. What a shameful chapter in our history.

1/ Excited for this new @njgvrc.bsky.social paper to be out in JAMA Open. We examined how common defensive gun use is, how that compares to the frequency of gun violence exposure, and which individuals are most likely to have engaged in defensive gun use. Follow along for more info...

Studies show that funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) contributed to 354 of 356 drugs (99.4%) approved by the FDA from 2010 to 2019. Recklessly slashing NIH funding will mean that patients will be waiting much longer for life-saving treatments.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Per an NIH source: “Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”
