Hey, checking in to say that n=250 *eligible* Black women signed up for SECURE study in the last *7 days*👀🤯
Nvm the colonizers, I 🛑them easily!
I told y’all Black women were going to help me get this data, and then we’re going to DEMAND change. Watch.

Highlighting disease forecasting challenges by @alexvespi and ending on a critical note - the old model of modeling is out! #eeid2023
Deciding to say hello at a conference: have I actually met this person or do I have a parasocial relationship with them because of Twitter? 🤔 #eeid2023

Lots of people have preconceived ideas about what working in a university must be like.
Here, UCU member Chris has a message about the reality of it for far too many staff.
Share the video.
Support the strike.
Join us in demanding change.

I disagree with this policy @biorxivpreprint - multilingual abstracts are found in many journals!

The default argument against using black box predictions in medicine is because it doesn't allow to explain patients *why* their risk are high and what to do about it. That is legitimate! But it's extremely naive to think that the default explainability toolbox will get you there

I think we need a lot more methodological training and rigour in science, but I don't think 'methodological review boards' would achieve this.
I think we need to drastically reduce the expected rate of output, giving people 2-10x more time to think, learn, & do their research.
“It’s time to make dedicated methodological review boards a standard feature at universities and other research institutions, as institutional review boards are,” writes @lakens in a World View article in @Nature. go.nature.com/3GkR5DI

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER AND SUPPORTER TO RT THIS THREAD.
University bosses are rattled. Across the UK they are threatening UCU members with unfair and immoral pay deductions if they take part in action short of striking. This thread exposes every single one of them

In epidemiology, the fact that jobs hurt often hurt workers is so well-known that we have a term to describe this phenomenon: the "healthy worker bias". 1/
