Use a declarative title: reviewers (and editors) will often recommend a declarative title. Instead of a hypothetical title like “Trends in groundwater storage” try “A doubling of groundwater loss since 2010”.

Recently, the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) has issued a statement titled "The use of polygenic risk scores in pre-implantation genetic testing: an unproven, unethical practice". See attached for a few thoughts. The ESHG statement: nature.com/articles/s4143…

👍Data cleaning. Can't emphasize that, visualisation and thinking about meaning enough. The problem is lots of people are having fun - just not doing anything real or useful. But hey, getting paid to have fun is nice work if you can get it (perhaps not sustainable).

Our SCALLOP Consortium GWAS of the ACE2 coronavirus receptor is now published in Circulation Circulation: ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116… Thanks to the 1st authors ZhiJian Yang and Erin Macdonald-Dunlop for their hard work and all the contributing cohorts for making this joint effort possible.🥳

I am not sure how to express how excited I am to finally see this out. We examined the causal relationship between food and health using MR, showing that food health relationships are sometimes specific, but overall a healthy diet is actually healthy! bit.ly/3MfBx55

I accidentally made a map comparing rainfall and sunshine hours across the UK in 2021. Conclusive proof that Yorkshire>Lancashire (among other things). High-res version here: github.com/VictimOfMaths/…

Several people asked us for the food liking GWAS summary stats. I am happy to announce that they are finally online. Looking forward to seeing how they will be used! ebi.ac.uk/gwas/publicati…

Thanks to Euronews Culture for putting together such a nice summary of our work. euronews.com/culture/2022/0…

What is Causal Inference? Causal Inference is a new science of causation. This field is nothing less than a revolution in how scientists understand data. Read on to learn more. This is the first post in a series based on the Book of Why by Judea Pearl. I will be reading the

Sally (a girl) has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. How many sisters does Sally have? Here are 60 LLMs getting it wrong. benchmarks.llmonitor.com/sally

Every Data Scientist needs to know these ideas. They will blow your mind. 1. Correlation vs Causation P(A | B) is the probability of A given B. It is the probability that we will observe A given that we have already observed B. P(A | do(B)) is the probability of A given

Do you consider doing a PhD in statistical human genetics in a wonderful location? My lab [wp.unil.ch/sgg/] has open position(s) to explore human interactions, region-specific effects, evolutionary optimal transcript levels by developing advanced causal inference methods

us life expectancy dreadful at all levels of income. An analysis I've wondered about often. Interestingly, issue is more about society and young deaths than the health care system per se.

I enjoyed reading this and expected some lessons for govt from the venture capital style approach the vaccine taskforce took. But the biggest lesson is one that I didn’t expect. (Short 🧵)

A new proposal from the Biden administration calls for a nationwide cap on rent increases. Economists think that’s a terrible idea. We revisit a 2019 episode to hear why. freak.ws/4di86gs
