demoscapes.org is a visual atlas of demographic surfaces hosted at @mpidr.bsky.social. It is also my passion project growing out of my 2016 human mortality database explorer. Did you publish something containing Lexis surfaces? Consider reaching out and having your work featured on the site.
Check out @jschoeley.com's very cool project: Demoscapes! It now features interactive Lexis surfaces based on our recent PNAS paper tracking cohort trends in major causes of death in the US. It's (to us data lovers) so fun!

So much outstanding work is happening so quickly in the research area "What, exactly, has gone so wrong with US mortality?"
This is one really good intervention in that vein by @leahrabrams.bsky.social @alysonvanraalte.bsky.social & colleagues

Some personal news: My sabbatical ended last week, just as I landed a deal for the book I've been working on for these 12 months. The Cradle Will Fall is now about half done (just need one more sabbatical) and will be edited by @rlevay.bsky.social at @princetonupress.bsky.social. I'm thrilled!
Need to decide which of these textbooks to assign for my new introduction to epidemiology class in the fall. If you love one, let me know!
