Earlier today the government announced a cut to the UK aid budget to fund an increase in defence spending.
12 years ago, we released this video to show how aid protects children in the toughest situations.
Now, the message is more important than ever.

Could the conviction of Lucy Letby be one of the worst cases of scapegoating, or whistleblower retaliation in UK history?
Are we seeing yet another Birmingham 6, Guilford 4, Post Office 900, or... (the list is long)?

Greatly enjoyed working with @jack_bowdenjack on this. IV methods have been used extensively in e.g. epidemiology, but less so in pharmaceutical industry. Hope this tutorial helps bridging the gap between biopharmaceutical research and the causal inference community.
