Hey demographers!

As I finalize my population modeling syllabus for the semester, I'd love to get your favorite recent (or recent-ish) articles that made you say, "Our methods can do *that*?!"

Demographers, I need help!

We're estimating excess mortality on noisy historical data. We expect substantial baseline mortality trends (secular mortality decline) that we want to account for in our baseline projection so our "excess mortality" doesn't conflate the true excess w the pre-trend.

Demographer friends!

Where can I find authoritative, *sub-annual* counts of overall deaths in the United States, going back in time several decades (e.g. 1975–2024)?

Has to be quarterly or even monthly. Can be by age, or just total deaths.
