Everybody gets super excited about this new #AI #ML #machinelearning technique or that
You cannot build a RELIABLE house with low #quality bricks
First, look at the building blocks… meaning, how the #data fields are even defined & how the data are obtained
Who defined them?

I can’t tell you how glad I am that I have done coursework at both @MITSloan AND @StanfordGSB - Former immerses you in a ton of hands on analysis & options for analytic techniques useful in a #datascience job. Latter steps back to frame questions, assess missing data, biases.

Theories of infertility “by” vaccine
Draw upon past government sterilization programs
Fears are never unfounded
even if not the case now
Being out of touch with these realities + poor #studydesign

really unsure why I went into #neuroscience instead of #PIZZAscience but in this thread I will take you through this paper! 1/n
Ever wondered if you could make a #pizza with #cheddar cheese instead of #mozzarella? Ever wondered why you only get to specify "light, normal, or extra" cheese when ordering a pizza but not the type of cheese? Well, this paper is for you!! 2/n

1/n bit of basic #epidemiology first: Gold standard measures are used to assess the validity of alternative measurement #epitwitter
2/n BUT in #dementia research there is no clear gold standard --> so the question remains - what do we typically ise as the "gold standard" and what does it say about the alternative =administrative dabatases measure? Stay tuned for more!
