So grateful that our paper on propensity score methods was the most accessed in @J_Epidemi! We discussed nuanced differences between the alternative PS approaches and how they differ from multivariable outcome regression. Thanks to my friend and co-author @palace127

Trip to Japan with global leaders in well-being research and policymaking. Key themes were: understanding well-being from an Eastern perspective through Zen meditation (Kyoto) and peace and harmony b/w humans & nature as the foundation for sustainable development (Hiroshima).

New study led by a stellar master's student, Toshi Komura, at @BUSPH! We examined differential effects of high life satisfaction on cognitive functioning. Life satisfaction appeared least beneficial among older adults with low SES and health problems. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


Our recent study examined whether the association between informal helping and mortality differs by age, gender, race/ethnicity, wealth, income, and education. We found evidence that the heath benefit of helping is stronger among women and the wealthiest. academic.oup.com/abm/article-ab…

What an important study! It provides critical quantitative evidence on the unique struggles non-native English speaking scholars face in academia.

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journa… 1/9

Our latest paper explores the long-term cognitive impact of disaster-related trauma among older adult survivors. We found that those with a history of childhood adversities are particularly vulnerable when they experienced home loss. academic.oup.com/aje/advance-ar… #lifecourseepi


📣Excited to share our latest paper, selected as Editor's Choice in Sleep (@researchsleep)🏆. The paper demonstrated the bidirectional relationship between sleep quality and post-traumatic stress symptoms among older Japanese disaster survivors. More at academic.oup.com/sleep/article/…
