I, and I suspect many of my biology people, find this very triggering 😬 twitter.com/MarkSmedley15/…

So proud of the team effort that led to this paper in Blood ashpublications.org/blood/article/… Well done to all of our ‘lockdown’ collaborators and thanks to our amazing funders @bloodcancer_uk @SxCancerFund and the Michael Chowen research fund

Reassuringly, my hairline has not receded as far as I feared since this picture was taken ~9 years ago. 10 minutes with a tape measure well spent this morning.

Oxford University Press has made all e-textbooks free for now, including my Intuitive Biostatistics. To access: Go to redshelf.com , set up an account (you don't need to be a student), and then search for Intuitive Biostatistics.

Statistical conclusion of the day: "Outside of phone applications, the usability of the app is similar to that of a microwave".

Yesterday evening and this morning.

Over 100 years ago, geneticists noted that the males of mutant yellow fruit flies often fail during mating. Now we know why (and the reason is not what most people thought) elifesciences.org/digests/49388/…

Single-cell RNA-sequencing in fruit flies gives an unprecedented picture of how new genes are expressed during the formation of sperm elifesciences.org/articles/50136

@bengoldacre @rcgp @FelixPretis The educational value of sharing the code and output together in a Jupyter notebook is immense. Makes the code so easy to follow.

@rcgp @FelixPretis (I'm nearly done now).... With every paper we share a Jupyter notebook, containing the code, and the outputs of the code. We talk more here about these open approaches, and why they matter. ebmdatalab.net/openness-and-t…

Our fabulous new paper is out in BMJ! We have used VAST datasets to explore DIFFUSION OF INNOVATION in the NHS on an UNPRECEDENTED scale, using a data science approach from another field, adapted with vast effort into a fun new library for medical research bmj.com/content/367/bm…
