Entries
Received For 10 Commandments Contest
Readers Encouraged
To Enter Contest With Examples Below
Last month we started
a contest to identify 10 Mock Serious Commandments for epidemiologists
to win a $500 prize. The contest rules are being republished here
with examples of commandments submitted from our readers to encourage
more readers to submit entries for our contest. Here are some examples
of potential mock serious commandments for epidemiologists received
from epidemiologists:
Thou shalt not ignore
confounders, measured or unmeasured.
Thou shalt not entertain false evidence.
Thou shalt not covet thy colleagues sample size.
Thou shalt collaborate when thy sample size is insufficient.
Thou shalt share thy data and analysis code.
Thou shalt always
construct and consult a DAG.
Thou shalt not worship any false DAGs or other diagrams with
bidirectional arrows.
Thou shalt not have any alternative facts that come
before Science.
Thou
shalt not take the name of thy statistician in vain.
Remember
to protect thy nights and weekends from thy work.
Honor
the weight of the evidence.
Thou
shalt not torture the data.
Use your
creative talents, send us your commandments, and get a chance to win
$500.

Rules
All entries
must be received by July 31, 2019 at
editor@epimonitor.net. If similar entries are received,
the earliest received will have precedence. All entries must
be original, created by the contestant, and not previously
published elsewhere. The editor reserves the right to make
the final selection of the contest winner, and all
submissions become the property of the Epidemiology Monitor.
Individuals may join together as a group and submit an entry
or entries by department, school or other entity. A set must
contain at least 10 commandments. We reserve the right to
nullify the contest if too few entries are submitted, though
we think this is unlikely given all the creative entries we
have received from our previous contests! |
