Happening NOW - the first day of #SERweek2020 closing out with SER in the Moment: A Community-Wide Conversation with @oacarah @YYandtd @MarthaWerler and Sherman James.
Sherman James defines overlapping pandemic-related and endemic stressors faced by African American individuals:
1) COVID-19 (disproportionate deaths)
2) Economic collapse (increased unempl, loss of small businesses)
3) Systemic anti-black racism by police / vigilante killings

"Racism is a fundamental cause of racial health inequities".
I have been reflecting a lot on the significance of our panel on #CriticalRaceTheory & Epidemiology and think that it is important that we situate it in the broader context of history. At least 2 historical inflection points stand out to me...

First, 2019 marks #400Years since enslaved Africans were brought to the shores of this country. This "original sin", predicated on racist science, religion, & rhetoric, is fundamental to our understanding of racial health inequities...

S/O to the #ancestors whose sacrifice is not lost on me. Blood. Sweat. Tears. Prayers. We do this work to honor them because we know it’s upon their shoulders that we stand…

One in particular is Dr. Bill Jenkins who transitioned in February. His work exposing the atrocities of the U.S. Public Health Service’s Tuskegee Syphilis Study is an example of how we should all speak truth to power.

Discussing his African American journey as an epidemiologist
Does arduous striving for success in the face of systemic diversity (poverty and racism) damage health?
@EpiEllie @eschisterman1 @JohnPamplinII I was bummed too! I was really looking forward to their responses to my question/comment... 😏
@EpiEllie @eschisterman1 @JohnPamplinII I disagree with Miguel that most social epi exposures are analogous to the nutritional and biomarker examples he gave. For instance, his income example (this is supposed to be the easy one)...
@EpiEllie @eschisterman1 @JohnPamplinII His examples of hypothetical experimental manipulations leave out 3 considerations imp to #SocialEpi folks: 1) life course, 2) larger units of analysis (we are into health of communities, not just individuals), and 3) feedback mechanisms (if you give folks more $$,...3/

Who are we?
Done with G and ready for E! I'll try to tweet a bit more this talk. My fingers were too busy coding this morning... #SER2019
Starting off with a brief history of sensitivity analyses, bounds for effects and the cornfield conditions (how strong associations between U and A, later U and Y) would have to be to completely explain away the observed RR relating A any Y)
And now the classic picture of Fisher smoking a pipe emerges...
The epidemiologists have left me for the night and it's about time for me to turn off my lights. I should give this account back to @societyforepi. (And anyway SER HQ threatened to run a SAS PROC MIXED with 2 random effects on my VAX if I don't! Ack!!) #WBOBTwitterTakeover 1/5
