All 3 papers (#openaccess) now out in the @bmj_latest on the **Evaluation of clinical prediction models** part 1: tinyurl.com/3h4zfvfw part 2: tinyurl.com/ynytrpmx part 3: tinyurl.com/2cfc9uj3 #stats #MachineLearning #predictiveanalytics

Prof Ross Andrews, Sr Epi @qldhealth, presents COVID-flu-RSV trends extracted just hours ago. Near real-time reporting of state-level health data is an invaluable resource achieved from the COVID response. Timely information is powerful & needed across more health indicators.

Attending the @qldhealth data linkage symposium for the first time since before the pandemic! Data to Drive Change team from the @CREStillbirth is attending and thrilled for today’s presentations #data #datalinkage #epi

Important argument by @dillyanumba for why preterm birth 🤰🏽and stillbirth 🦋prevention need to be hand in hand 🤝 #collaboration #commongoals @ISAStillbirth #ISAsheffield2023

After a few years working on COVID at @qldhealth, I’m thrilled at the privilege to return to @CREStillbirth to continue developing #stillbirth projects with the most amazing team at @MaterResearch.

NEW paper, NEW TRIPOD reporting guideline out in @bmj_latest led by @TPA_Debray If you’re developing/validating a prediction model and accounted for clustering (different centres, data sets), then TRIPOD-Cluster is for you -> tinyurl.com/4rcvkuee #openaccess #statstwitter

Prof Brian Gabrielli has been awarded a $500,486 grant from @ocrfaustralia for new research investigating a tablet treatment for ovarian cancer which could be more effective and have fewer side effects than current chemotherapy. Learn more: mater.li/ovariancancers… @UQ_News

The @CREStillbirth team were honoured to receive the Mater Research Excellence award for 2022. Thanks @MaterNews @MaterResearch for recognising the incredible work our team has done this year. #stillbirth #research

I've traveled a long way from my "Home Among the Hills" @WVWesleyan but it was such an honor and privilege to meet with the Chemistry Students & Faculty and even give a lecture in the same room I met the beautiful @JSextonMPH in. Thanks to all and till next time! #WVchem #ozchem

"Covid increases the risk of stillbirth or newborn death, especially for unvaccinated women." Read the article in @Forbes. tinyurl.com/4j37942k

Our lucky last @QUTmaterials researcher recently promoted is @DrBryanTuten! Bryan's ARC #DECRA research involves cool polymer chemistry with some weird elements #selenium #QUTScience #polymers

The best thesis

@ben_hr I have abandoned Inbox Zero. I am ‘living with email’

A msg from #WCEpi2021 co-chair @lindaslacksmith, "This is a unique opportunity to hear from & engage with colleagues interested in epi internationally. I doubt we can truly engage in epidemiology/public health w/o understanding the global context; COVID-19 has demonstrated that."

🗣️Dr Jeannette Young: "Queensland, COVID-19 is coming." "We’ve done so well so far, thanks to you. But our toughest test is almost certainly still in front of us." Read Dr Young's full opinion piece here: health.qld.gov.au/news-events/do…

TIP: when reviewing a prediction model study, start by searching for these words: - sample size - calibration - missing data - TRIPOD Failure to mention these is heavily linked with a poor quality study. Most studies fail to mention at least one of these, & many ignore all.

Love this. A quick and easy way to check exposure sites and venues in Australia. Bookmarked. #SpatialData #COVID19Aus #ArcGIS Ping @JSextonMPH

29,990 tests in past 24 hours 👏

Please check in using the Queensland check in app. It is also vital that anyone heading out to watch the game at a pub or club tonight check-in with the Queensland check in app. And please remember, if you're sick, stay home. 2/2
