This week in my infectious disease/ sociology course the focus was on the sociology of vaccine hesitancy. Students loved the assigned articles by @jenniferreich.bsky.social. Thanks so much for your work.

Excited to be in Pittsburgh for @iaphs.bsky.social conference!

Missing the @ipums.bsky.social booth at #IPC2025 conference this year.

Hope folks can stop by to #IPC2025 session 8 this morning . I am presenting joint work with @jkerwin.bsky.social and Divya Pandey.

So happy to be at #IPC2025

The #PAA2025 Karaoke session is no joke! @jkerwin.bsky.social you would have loved this.

So grateful for the work of @uwcsde.bsky.social affiliate Kyle Crowder (@popassocamerica.bsky.social vice president) in organizing the #PAA2025 conference. I am proud to have served on the organizing committee.

Hi fellow #demography folks. Be sure to follow @uwcsde.bsky.social ! They are new to Bluesky . @sarahquinn.bsky.social @petercatron.bsky.social @zalmquist.bsky.social @readdemography.bsky.social @popassocamerica.bsky.social @iaphs.bsky.social @iussp.bsky.social @berkeleypopcenter.bsky.social

So excited to be at #PAA2025 with all of my @uwcsde.bsky.social colleagues and students. Also excited to reconnect with my former @minnpop.bsky.social and @ipums.bsky.social colleagues.

USAID is an incredible brand and source of soft power. Killing it off would be a disaster for US foreign policy and for millions of the world’s poorest people.

The Census Scientific Advisory Committee, which advises the Census Bureau on research and methodology across various Census programs and activities, has been terminated as of 2/28/25. This is another blow against federal data collection.

An influential program that gave detailed public health information to about half of the world’s nations has folded as a result of the Trump administration’s freeze on foreign aid. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/h...

Surreal read of the day: a paper using USAID-funded and now terminated Demographic & Health Surveys to count the huge number of lives saved by the now frozen US PEPFAR program to fight HIV, co-authored by current US admin’s nominee to lead cuts in health research jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Really enjoyed meeting with @vluck89.bsky.social and learning more about his book. One highlight was learning that some of his research was powered by @ipums.bsky.social !

Help spread the word. The @minnpop.bsky.social is a great place to work. @popassocamerica.bsky.social @iaphs.bsky.social #Demography #PublicHealth #Sociology

@elenakriegerphd.bsky.social can you help spread the word to your network?

Do you have recommendations for a good organizer for a #PAA2025 flash session titled “Small area estimation of morbidity and mortality trends”? Feel free to self nominate. You must not have organized in the past two years. Organizers also need to have an active PAA membership. #Demography

Can someone point me to a figure in a journal or website showing age-adjusted COVID-19 cases by year from 2020-2022? Some thing like the first panel in the figure below but instead of cumulative data, I would love to see the figure by year. Thanks.
