#AsianAmericans are fastest growing Census race category in the US, account for 6% of the US population, and 60% of the global population....but only account for 0.17% of the @nih budget over the past 25 years for clinical research studies @nih_nhlbi @NIMHD @NIDDKgov @theNCI
New citation for 1st sentence of every #AsianAmerican health research paper & grant, lol (where's bitter laugh emoji?) 1 day we'll get what we need because we are humans, for now we have to justify it Asian Americans fastest-growing race/ethnic group pewrsr.ch/3tbjILO

PLEASE SHARE: As the number of #covid19 cases grow, each of us can take steps to help slow transmission in our community. Protective measures can help #FlattenTheCurve, so the total number of cases spread over a longer time period, allowing hospitals to care for all who need it.

This may be the most important debate in epi now. So appealing to dismiss observational research but we need all the evidence we can get. xitter.cf/ken_rothman/status/906…
Study bit.ly/2xcoyOq claiming observational studies are biased was itself biased from unusual methodology bit.ly/2xW9dQg.
Great work and diversity! @UCSFCancer outreach rocks! xitter.cf/RenaPasick/status/9076…

Don't miss these epidemiologists telling editors what their journal's statistical consultant should have told them xitter.cf/ken_rothman/status/862…
JAMA rejected this letter from my colleagues & me ("low priority"), so we're publishing on twitter, hoping JAMA will take it more seriously.
