      Would nutritional epidemiology be better (e.g. produce stronger, more actionable, and/pr less weak/misleading studies) if we treated it MORE or LESS seriously as a scientific field?

      Some arguments to consider: -Treating it less seriously reduces distribution of weak and misleading studies. -However, treating it less seriously is a self-fulfilling prophecy, with low quality standards and inability to attract strong methods people.

      -The problems with nutr epi are fundamental, and difficult / impossible to overcome, and therefore taking it seriously is a mistake. -Taking it seriously will improve communication of uncertainty and difficulty of solving the very difficult problems.

      -Treating it less seriously would help free it from the influence of media and popular attention, allowing researchers to focus more on robust analysis rather than catchy headlines. -Treating it more seriously incentivizes more helpful critique/reform.

      Noah Haber Retweeted Linda Nab  📏

      Question inspired by this thread from @lindanab1 https://twitter.com/lindanab1/status/1153045330591719424 …. So far no one is taking the "less" argument, but lots with the equivalent of "it depends." Shoulda seen that one coming.

      Noah Haber added,

      Linda Nab  📏 @lindanab1
      After my undergrad in maths I switched fields to nutritional epi. I was (perhaps naively) intrigued by the ‘power of food’, ie how eating healthy can prevent diseases. I agree that we shouldn’t try to answer if eggs are healthy based on obs data, but isn’t there a lot more? 1/5 https://twitter.com/f2harrell/status/1152661452626571264 …

      Hey people who disagree with the premise, serious question: what do you disagree with, and why? I genuinely want to hear some arguments here.

      Replying to @NoahHaber

      I reckon the less serious appraisal is mostly a product of the media cycle - most scientists already treat nutritional epi with a healthy dose of skepticism Maybe more about communication than science per se?
