Just been to @TescoMiddleton where all these Calatheas are dying. Asked about them being reduced, was flat out refused and informed "customers can choose to buy full price in that conditon"..for £12?! ...wonder if they take the same approach to food... #wasteful #plantwaste

@PWGTennant Ahh that’s fair! I can’t imagine doing this job without them 😬

@JadeTalbot_ If you're surrounded by epidemiologists, then you're in a fortunate position because you have access to the knowledge that you need (concerning matters such as data provenance and selection bias). In clinical academia, the importance of this knowledge appears under appreciated.
English
Here's an example advert for five new posts in digital health. Including interests in 'digital health AI' and 'digital health twins'.
English
My advice:
- Enjoy every moment, take opportunities as you never know who/what might open up your world
- Look for a supportive environment - especially important when you’re first starting
- If you want to change the world, broaden your horizons! Don’t just look at academia

Great to be at this year’s careers event to current life science undergrads at @Uni_of_Essex
Cannot fathom that I started my own undergrad 10 years ago and since then have transitioned from “I only want to be in the lab” to “data science is my passion, I love working from home”

@chatabix1 I have just started listening (from the beginning) and I’m currently on 1st June 2021… (I hope the bleakness of ‘is anyone listening’ carries on 😂) I am reaching out to say I am!!

@callumjpr I did get free everything (including a loaf of bread after every shift!) but my sister works there now and she gets nothing 🙃
English
@JadeTalbot_ Do you as many free pastries from the bakery as I did free Indian takeaways?

Been thinking about this recently as I’m participating in a career talk at the end of the week for my undergrad department at @Uni_of_Essex which I started in 10 years ago 😳
Can you give career advice when all you’ve done is plodded along trying to work out what to do next? 🤪

social media health messages need to give the gist in a few seconds:
Measles:
-is one of the most contagious diseases
-can be fatal or cause disability or suppress the immune system
- has no treatment
- can be prevented by vaccines
-vaccines are safe and DO NOT cause autism
UK Health Security Agency@UKHSA
#Vaccines are the best possible defence against #measles, #mumps and #rubella. Make sure your child gets both doses of the #MMR vaccine to protect them and others from these serious diseases. More: nhs.uk/MMR #VaccinesWork

@g_progesterone Yeah that is true! I think learning about creating dummy data should be one of the first things someone should learn in their coding journey to tackle this potentially?
English
@JadeTalbot_ Totally appreciate that open sharing isn't always appropriate, and also that it is a bit scary!
English
I agree with everything in this thread, the QA process in academic (in my experience) was pretty poor in hindsight, and quite often data science work is lead by supervisors who have never written a line of code!
What’s the solution when academics already have so little time?
English
@g_progesterone I agree with you but I experienced some groups not wanting to share code or data externally incase ‘someone steals it” 🙄
And I think as a beginner I was absolutely mortified sharing anything so I tried not to for as long as possible which wasn’t helpful 🤦🏻♀️
English
@JadeTalbot_ Not a complete solution, but perhaps the best we can do is report methods transparently and share data/code as openly as possible?
English
Had the pleasure of attending the #fieldservice @UKHSA away day last week at @surreycricket
As a geographically diverse division, it’s lovely to see some faces in person! 🥰

Shout out to any admin staff who’s job involves minuting meetings
Apparently it stresses me out 🤣

So so so happy to have passed my thesis defence today!!! A massive, massive thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. I still can’t believe I’ve really done it. Absolutely over the moon right now 😭😭😭❤️

The Gastrointestinal tracker was the first major project I worked on as part of the Regions Data Science team, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Congratulations to all the speakers and people who contributed a poster which made for an excellent event.
