Ok, here we go: Much of my work concerns the history and return of scientific racism. I’ve written extensively about attempts to resurrect the shuffling corpse of
race science and eugenics for many years. Bigotry dressed up as biology. 1/n

There's some amazing data hidden away in ONS's user requested data section.
Last year they quietly published death data by age, deprivation decile and cause, which means we can look at age patterns in alcohol deaths by IMD, with sadly predictably grim results:

People often think the most important part of science is the statistical analysis.
But they’re wrong.
The most important part is understanding the data. Who collected it, when, where, why, how, and from whom? Who entered and cleaned it, when, where, why, how, and for whom?
ALT Beyond statistical methods, estimating valid causal effects requires understanding: The data • What data are available • Where, when, and who does it comes from • How was it sampled and measured • Who is left out? The decisions • How are decisions made in the real world, • What information is used to decide, • Who makes the decisions • Who is left out? The questions • What options are we comparing, • When, where, and to whom does our question apply, • How are we answering it, • Who is left out?

One of the many pernicious effects of this is the creeping caution and ‘but they-ness…’ that means superb scholars are deemed ‘potentially’ risky if they have ‘views’. It’s in the job description to have views, based on discipline.

A huge deal of biomedical science is not replicable, & research waste a serious problem. Science may be self-correcting in the long term, but how long can spurious science persist? In @RSocPublishing Open Science today, I try answer that. Short 🧵
