Census Bureau experts recommend NOT using the Post Enumeration Survey (PES) to update the 2020 population estimates because "While the PES is helpful in identifying coverage issues at the national level, it is not able to identify them as accurately at lower levels of geography because of its design. The PES sample size was simply too small."
"While casualty counting during modern conflicts is deficient due to organizational, political or strategic reasons, the international organizations responsible for collecting such data […] face difficulties to access the conflict scene, resulting in under-reported, unreliable or no-reported data."
"War deaths from malnutrition and a damaged health system and environment likely far outnumber deaths from combat."
"An estimated 3.6-3.8 million people have died indirectly in US war zones since 2001, bringing the total death toll to at least 4.5-4.7 million and counting."
Today, a young American woman between the ages of 25 and 34 face higher mortality rates than at any other point in more than 50 years. And had the mortality rate remained flat between 2000 and 2021, nearly 40,000 young women would not have died.

I have written an introductory guide to studying the work of the #CJEU using #rstats, guiding you through all the steps from downloading the data to producing figures such as the ones attached (using #ggplot2).
A poll in the U.S. shows a large majority of Americans who heard of artificial intelligence have very little or no trust that companies will use the technology responsibly.
Popular discussion of the harm caused by guns focuses on deaths, overlooking non-fatal injuries. But for every kid in the U.S. who dies from a shooting, 2 more are treated for bodily harm.

@meredithw@bibliolater@science Good point, as a medical layperson I would have not thought of that. Since the causal interpretation seems mechanistically plausible, it is tempting. I have yet to read the full paper but its abstract and conclusion are more carefully phrased than the reporting about the paper. I wonder if one can factor out negative correlation somehow in study design or analysis.
