I secretly love end of the year lists so this year I want to try my own!
Here's a thread of my favorite/most inspiring papers of 2018 at the intersection of health care, policy and social science.
Totally idiosyncratic to me - please tweet the papers I missed 😮

Pretty weak, Vincenzo, this all you got? What happened to Measles in Romania, speaking of fitting some worldview. Pharma sellouts really ought be more nuanced. Am trying to be helpful. #PutKids1st#MedEd#hpv#vaxxed#vaccines#flu#edu NO #vaccineswork
Corvelva's 'experiment' is a good demonstration of confirmation bias. Anti-vax folks will believe anything if it fits into their world view that vaccines are bad, even as they dismiss all of the measles deaths in Italy... https://t.co/l06WACkcpy#VaccinesWork
Completely out of my sphere of knowledge (like way way out there)
But adore the shared “open source learning/mentoring” concept so very much. ❤️❤️
Reminded me of the good the #MedTwitter#meded and #FOAMed does. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Errors in data analysis code are a major problem for scientists and for science. Two practices that can help you avoid them (or track them down more easily) :
1. never copy and paste code, and
2. never write a code block longer than your screen.
