Delighted with my new role and team relationships as senior data policy manager @SmartDataRes! I'm also enjoying reconnecting with friends after a couple of years on partial leave with my new(ish!) kiddo. DM me here or on LinkedIN to share particular policy insights with us.

Now that a general election has been called, I thought it was worth pre-emptively laying to rest some rumours that sometimes circulate about @ESRC rules on what ESRC-funded researchers supposedly are and aren't allowed to say during the ‘pre-election period’. (1)

At risk of being banal: data needs to be there, supporting social perception and reform. No such thing as neutral open data : but it brings in common tools, standards and so on that get behind the doing of it.

Olivia Varley-Winter@ovarwin·31 Oca

Feeling proud that Data Driving Reform is @opendatacharter's new strategy 😊. & am inspired to say so by @BootstrapCook's (& now @ONS!) work towards a #VimesBootsIndex, which is thought provoking in the best possible way.

Q: if you're getting pregnant, what's the chance of conceiving identical (monozygotic) triplets? @wendyvarley wrote in 2012 about this loved by media "200m to one" statistic. wendyvarley.wordpress.com/2012/08/07/cha…

Very well-put arguments here for the questions that could be answered by better study design

Dr. Deepti Gurdasani@dgurdasani1

Let's looks at the highly flawed study that is being cited as showing no difference between LFD testing and isolation of contacts in schools. This is simply incorrect, and the premise of the trial as reported in the preprint out now is rather shocking from an ethics perspective🧵

Kudos to the BBC who have now rewritten this piece with much more appropriately cautious wording and conclusions. Daily testing can keep pupils in school, study suggests bbc.co.uk/news/health-57…

Proud of this in depth reporting project out last week from @Deborah_Ashby @deeksj & @RoyalStatSoc working group. Thoroughgoing public reporting from RSS to help ensure testing is statistically sound - a global health issue.
