@statsepi e.g we know a lot about mutagens present in tobacco smoke after the initial epi studies of lung cancer, and this has been relevant beyond lung cancer
English
@statsepi Whilst I wouldn't characterise it as 'getting lucky', lots of epidemiology stems from initial observations that we then try to explain. Ecological studies, migrant studies etc leading to knowledge of possibly broad relevance.

@dan_p_simpson Congrats! Melbourne is a great place to be but Monash are lucky to have you all the same. If you need Melbourne tips that are at least eight years out of date, I'm your man

#WorldMentalHealthDay This tweet is very hard to write. I hope it helps someone, somewhere. On Friday evening my funny, clever, lovely wife of 30 years took her own life. The loss of her job that she loved because of CV was part of her malignant sadness. Cont'd

We have *several* lectureship positions (jobs.ac.uk/job/CBM277/lec…) in our department -closing date: 18 October!
We may have questionable taste in appointing our heads (...), but we do have an entertainment committee (+we do great research and are a very nice place to work!)

@MaartenvSmeden Unless maybe you're testing the output of a pseudorandom number generator

I have *never* come across a data analysis where I thought a test for normality would be a useful thing to do

One way this could work is if a left-wing comedian adopted the persona of a right-wing comedian and the leftish audience could appreciate the satire while the rightish audience could take it at face value.

The war eh? What was that all about? Bloody Germans. We won. Yeah!
Have you seen them <group of people>? Different to us aren't they? Yeah! Not the same. Makes you think eh?
The French! What are they like? Eh?
Er
Oh yeah, the war. Remember that? Yeah

@ProfDFrancis IQR hsTnT concentrations suggest at least 75% >3, which is incompatible with the 'proportion detectable' row. I'm guessing that they report the median and IQR of values within the limits of detection.

Why can we be *confident* that
(a) what was described in the methods, was not was actually done
and
(b) that in one case, even what was done, was done incorrectly.

Prize for the first person to spot what went wrong here.
(First author is an old friend so I am sure she won't mind me pointing it out. Great study! All publicity is good publicity Valentina!)

Research charities like @CRUK_Policy are vital for UK science and research.
But Covid-19 has caused catastrophic funding cuts and slowed down medical advances that save lives.
Now MPs have written to @RishiSunak to ask for support amrc.org.uk/News/50-mps-ur…

@MaartenvSmeden I... thought that was what simulation studies were for
English
Commonly the most interesting pieces of information in a simulation study into a new method: when does it break down? Every method breaks down at some point. EVERY METHOD
Maryclare Griffin@mcmcgriffin
Got a desk rejection and a major criticism was that that our method performed less well for a subset of the parameter values we considered in simulations. Feeling disillusioned - penalizing authors for being honest about when their methods struggle seems bad for science.

Couldn't fit all the tags... @Flo_research , and on the Imperial side you'll join a great group of cancer, risk prediction, and methodological researchers @KTsilidis @jotzou et al.

Come and work with us! RA/postdoc working on exciting topics in cancer risk prediction. Based @ImperialSPH (remote for the moment), and working with a great international team including @Mattias31 @hilaryarobbins @Karl_SmithByrne @Lyonpaul @XihongLin bit.ly/2BivE8C
