Totally overwhelmed by the incredible feedback I received regarding my talk at #OSSD2023 . It was so successful thanks to an amazing & receptive @OSSDtweets audience. Thank you all! And, since many have asked, here's my estrous cycle meme from the talk. Feel free to share away!😀

Was explaining the estimand/estimator/estimate distinction to a colleague earlier today and this meme came up so now you suffer too
estimand/estimator/estimate graphic. The estimand is what you want. The estimator is the recipe for producing it. The estimate is what you end up with.

Check out this new article on #pmdd from @washingtonpost-- they included lots of quotes from me and, more importantly, PMDD patients! @IAPMDglobal washingtonpost.com/lifestyle…
Their PMS mood swings were terrible. It was actually PMDD.

Their PMS mood swings were terrible. It was actually PMDD.

Many said it was a long journey to learn about the disorder, in no small part because of the stigmatization of reproductive health and menstruation.
