Did the U.S. undercount COVID-19 deaths?
Our new study in @PNASNews finds that:
1. There were approximately 163,000 excess deaths from natural causes other than COVID-19 between Mar 2020 and Aug 2022
2. Many were unrecognized COVID-19 deaths

What an experience! This course gave me tools I never thought I could use to model kinship within my research area. Thanks to @MPIDRnews for the opportunity,
and thanks to @AppDemography and @AVerdery for the support.
Pd: also, made a bunch of new friends and coauthors. 👍🏼🫶🏼

Very excited to see my exceptional postdoc, @MaraSheftel, has a new article leveraging an innovative binational study design to answer some core unanswered questions in the migration literature about return migration, income, migrant decision-making, & wealth stratification.
21 Apr 2023
In “Immigrant Wealth Stratification & Return Migration,” @MaraSheftel shows that “return migration is associated with a more diverse asset portfolio…& higher total net wealth” & so can represent “a story of success.” @GC_CUNY @CIDR_NYC @psupopresearch

When it comes to the #overdose crisis, both supply & demand have been driven by bad federal and state policy choices, nefarious corporate behaviors, & a neoliberal policy regime that prioritizes maximizing profit over protecting population health. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Our new #dataviz is online @SociusJournal. We show that surveys conducted remotely by mobile phone since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic have often generated (much) noisier data on age than recent household surveys and censuses journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
