Spectacular 'bad science' in BMC Endocrine Disorders. 10 variables 3 models 4 comparisons=120 p-values but authors focused on 2 values<0.05. All respect to reviewer 1 for pointing out errors bmcendocrdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… but shame on R2 & the greedy journal. Unhelpful rubbish!

@NoContextBrits More tea vicar?

What’s the most British phrase of all-time?

@NoContextBrits Whoops a daisies!

It's all kicking off in the Commons as Jacob Rees-Mogg accuses fellow Tory MP Richard Graham of never having accepted the result of the Brexit referendum. Graham made point of order objecting to that characterisation.

@MattGrossmann It was no fun at school, but I now truly relish being the world’s only Gavin RH Sandercock. I’m easy to Google -so take that all you’Tim Smiths’ out there.

having a name that takes longer to pronounce is associated with a significantly lower likelihood of being placed into an academic job or obtaining a tenure track position & an initial placement at an institution with lower research productivity; econ papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

How many people are truly physically acitve: 66% or 6%? See what difference a definition makes in research from #universsityofessex on more than 250000 English adults in #PLOSONE: dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

‘Homeapathy’ noun. A negative or depressive emotional state or torpor; typically as a result of prolonged periods spent work or study performed at one’s usual place of residence

@isitbacarditime @CMO_England Surely vulnerable adults should simply adhere to the current guidance provided for them - it makes no difference if you risk infection from a child or an adult.

@CMO_England Keep seeing this, but u won't answer the question about those with family members who are clinically vulnerable. Nothing is said about us, our risk & schools are not given guidence for us, my kids will be in bubbles with those not socially distancing... Just answer the question.

Sensible, logical & brave guidance. We cannot sacrifice children's education 'just in case' they get ill. The 20 deaths registered in under 19s are all tragic but three times that many children drown each year; life is risky: manage.

I’m more concerned for the 12% who take a poll to vote ‘don’t know’ than I am about the results! Who are you?

@bengoldacre Who voted? Was it the same people who spell the verb ‘practice’ say ‘expresso’ and use ‘octopi’ as a plural.

This is correct.

@chrismcmanus1 @pedlarcr @drjamesfaulkner @profchriscooper KUDOS: amazing work despite meddling of more ‘supervisors’ than a Vegas golf course, an 8 year stretch, +full time work

Absolutely delighted to have passed my Viva 🥳 and awarded a PhD this week 👨‍🎓 Thank you @pedlarcr and @drjamesfaulkner for a thorough yet enjoyable virtual viva. Also a huge thank you to my supervisory team @grhsandercock and @profchriscooper.

I actually read 50 confusing pages of Borisisms twitter.com/i/events/12598… -learnt that Tennis and Angling are 'OK' now Question is then why lock them down to begin? what else could we be doing - risk of infection listed

@bengoldacre If HS2 stopped one mile short of the proposed destination It would save enough cash to build a cycle lane along every major road in the country (& help us to avoid Birmingham)

How often do people quietly give up opportunities to make money, do good for society, or bring cash into the UK economy, only because they can't face our terrible transport infrastructure? If I was a politician I would hose money on infrastructure.

REJECTION LETTER from Peer reviewed Journal confirms authors’ beliefs; ‘Papers should not be a non-finding & should not show that a program studied does not work’ honestly?

“GROWING OBESITY CRISIS” Factcheck! BMI falls in summer holidays already- but...Schools could really help maintain activity levels and improve health that way

Good to hear but you’d Get the same answer for books, security or more computers. Good start and great idea

@ThePoke You can tell the accused is British by trying to make amends for thei Utter stupidity in an albeit futile gesture

Britain leaving the EU

Sedentary time improves academic attainment...interesting one for the policy makers!
