Just out, here is our take on the much debated topic of utility of PRS for cardiovascular disease prevention. Big improvement for middle-aged men, but classification improved across the board, with different types of improvement across age and sex. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

¿Existe una brecha de género en puestos académicos de la UNAM? Checa mi nuevo análisis de #rstats: tinyurl.com/vh2n2qh En el 2019, 45% del profesorado de la @UNAM_MX estuvo constituido por mujeres. La UNAM les pagó a los hombres 7% más en promedio que las mujeres. [1/4]

There is no power. It's literally a 50/50 chance to correctly call a coin flip. There is no advantage to being the team that can call it.
