Dr. Jason Salemi (@USouthFlorida) with a first - a peer review on YouTube! In a great example of #SciComm, Jason clearly dissects a recent paper on excess deaths in Florida, and identifies errors in interpretation and calculation.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NFZJuJdKvrg&feature=youtu.be …

I was aware of issues with interpretation, but not with the calculations. A screenshot below highlights how lags in reporting were not properly handled in the analysis, leading to some sizable changes in the final numbers.https://twitter.com/olivierlacan/status/1378546470895431681 …

Olivier Lacan @olivierlacanWith apologies to Jason for tweeting his conclusion, when your purported effect size can be divided threefold by no longer misusing readily available official metrics (deaths by date of actual occurrence, not date of report which always lags) it’s back to the drawing board. pic.twitter.com/efI5LyiQKPShow this thread1 reply 3 retweets 29 likesShow this thread -

Oh wow. That’s... Well, at least it’s not done but a Nobel Laureate.
