Did you hear? Sara Lodi has joined the Key Topics in Causal Inference (KTCI) instructor team for #2024CAUSALabcourses! Sara is an Associate Professor of Biostatistics in the Department of Biostatistics Boston University School of Public Health and an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Her research centers on causal inference for observational studies, clinical trial statistical analysis and corresponding results reconciliation. Sara aims to use big data to translate #publichealth questions of infectious disease and substance use disorders into actionable insight. The recently extended KTCI curriculum is designed for researchers interested in acquiring a roadmap to navigate the literature on #causalinference methods and covers topics such as g-formula, inverse probability weighting of marginal structural models and causal mediation analysis.

Delving into medical research has not only enhanced my clinical skills but also allowed me to contribute tangibly to the field of medicine. Some highlights: -📊 Applied biostatistical tools to uncover trends in cardiac and cancer epidemiology. -✍️ Published findings on rare diseases and resistant hypertension, adding to the global medical community's knowledge pool. -🔍 Participated in comprehensive workshops, from SPSS basics to meta-analysis techniques at the Research Council of Pakistan. I am continually inspired by the potential of targeted research to transform patient outcomes. What recent research has inspired you? #MedicalResearch #Epidemiology #PublicHealth

And just like that, the second year of my PhD is officially over. (here is my reflection on the term) The entire year was dedicated to designing and crafting research proposals. Yes, the whole year. ✔️ 1st term - 8 weeks spent on perfecting specific aims. ✔️2nd term - 8 weeks spent justifying your proposal, aka the significance section. ✔️3rd term- 8 weeks for Approach section 🤣 ✔️4th term - putting everything together! ********************** This term (4th), I had the privilege of taking the course "Problems in the Design of Epidemiologic Studies: Proposal Development and Critique," The course is taught by the newly appointed Director of the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology, and Clinical Research Professor Elizabeth Selvin. Congratulations to her. She is amazing. 🤩 ******************** This course has been a standout for the year. The course content and discussions have profoundly shaped my understanding of the grant writing and review process. ************** Achieving a perfect GPA wasn't my goal, but I am happy with a 4.0 GPA for the term. My goal was to learn as much as I could. I remained focused on the required courses. I was required to take at least 16 credits and, at most, 22 credits. I took exactly 16! I didn't overwhelm myself. I choose depth over breadth. *************** Congratulations to all those graduating next week. And congrats to all continuing students. #PublicHealth #Epidemiology #PhDJourney #AcademicExcellence #LifelongLearning
