Epi PhD @HarvardChanSPH @CAUSALab studying cancer treatments and causal inference | previously @Penn @YaleSPH @universityofga
Boston, MA
Joined January 2020
I’m thrilled to join the PhD in Population Health Sciences at @HarvardChanSPH in Fall 2023! Cannot wait to train in cancer epi and causal inference with inspiring faculty and an amazing student cohort. @barbradickerman @CAUSALab @HSPHCancerEpi #MedTwitter #EpiTwitter

Thank you, @jillfeldman4, for finding this language flaw in my slide. Future talks will retain the error and correction so that others can also learn how NOT to describe people suffering from an addiction. 🤦🏻♂️ Ref: https://t.co/mEa8Gljf5R

If you were diagnosed with #NSCLC before age 50, you may be eligible for the YOLC-HOPE Study. This registry is designed to understand the experiences, needs, and quality of life of younger adults with lung cancer. @MDAndersonNews

My first op-ed, written for my hometown newspaper in Gainesville, GA (unfortunately subscription-only) on how cutting research funding to @Harvard hurts people everywhere @gtimes

When folks in Gainesville hear about Harvard, they might think of an institution a world away from them. The Trump administration recently froze $2.6 billion in research funding to Harvard. Why...

🚨TARGET Statement is here! 🎯Target Trial Emulation is a framework to specify and answer causal questions with observational data when RCTs aren't available. TARGET will help guide the conduct & reporting of TTEs. Congrats to the authors @AidanCashin @HJHansford @CAUSALab
Until now there has not been specific guidance for how to report target trial emulation studies. The TARGET Statement published in JAMA provides guidance for reporting analyses of observational data that aim to estimate causal effects by explicitly emulating a target trial. 🔗

In a @NEJM editorial, Dr. Melinda Irwin explains how the CHALLENGE Study findings underscore the need to add exercise into #cancer care. "Exercise must become a standard part of care. The time to act is now." https://t.co/M3c3xiO5uq

In 2006, a prospective observational study first showed that physical activity after a colon cancer diagnosis was linked to a decreased risk of recurrence and death.1 Since then, numerous observati...

Cancer epidemiology is well represented at #SER2025 —fellow PhD student in cancer epi, Alexis Miranda, and I each had a chance to showcase our groups’ work. Descriptive epi 🤝 causal inference @causalab @hsphcancerepi @hsphcancer @LGBTQHealthExce

This is what happens when you let a swiftie run the Harvard Epi account 😎
Like @taylorswift13 discography, epidemiology has evolved a lot since 1989. But causal methods never go out of style. The Epidemiology Eras Tour included talks by @_miguelhernan and Jamie Robins on their seminal papers and advances in target trial emulation 🎯and mediation.

Imagine being 26 years old. Young, healthy, full of life. Then suddenly, you’re rushed to the hospital with a heart attack. That’s exactly what happened to a young man from Texas. This is his story:

This analysis found that time-to-event (TTE) endpoints are widely used but inconsistently defined across #CART trials. Many studies lacked complete TTE definitions, though reporting improved after 2018. @connorbgrady See the article:

Hospitals cause more pollution than 500 coal plants. The healthcare sector pumps out nearly 5% of global emissions. The system meant to save lives is harming the planet. The irony is brutal. Can hospitals go green? The answer might surprise you. 🧵
