Wonderful for Michael Dymock to present the intricacies of CUSUM/PPA to detect vaccine safety signals at #CDIC2022. A great addition to improve confidence in vaccine safety and the timeliness of adverse event detection WCVID telethonkids Tom

On the road for National #ScienceWeek! This week researchers like Biostatistician Michael are visiting schools across Perth to share their #STEM journeys & encourage kids to get hands on with #science! telethonkids NationalScienceWeek

Well done to biostatistician Michael Dymock - WA's only recipient of a NHMRC postgraduate scholarship! Over $7mill will be shared across 62 early career researchers - congrats Michael Dymock! telethonkids UWA UWA Research nhmrc.gov.au/about-us/news-…

Interesting new plan for bivalent mRNA boosting for immunocompromised from CDC 2 monthly interval proposed. bit.ly/3onaQoB BOOST-IC comparing single versus 3 monthly boosting of bivalent mRNA vaccines Dr David Griffin 🦠🧫💉 Sharon Lewin Tom Michael Dymock

Australians living with #HepC are being urged to join a new trial exploring ways to encourage the use of life saving medication. Despite having been available for many years in Australia, over half of those living with #HepC are yet to be treated bit.ly/3BoFcdN (1/2)

Our recent PLOS Comp Biol paper shows how modelers and clinicians can co-build a causal BN that helps determine the pathogens responsible for a child's pneumonia, offering the opportunity to inform better clinical decision making and patient outcomes. growkudos.com/publications/1…

Congratulations to the four early-career recipients of registration scholarships to attend #ASC2023. The WA branch are proud to support Lucy Conran, Michael Dymock , Shih Ching Fu, and Alistair Martin, as they present their work in Wollongong in December. ASC2023 Statistical Society of Australia

New blog article on use of historical control data in RCTs. Trust the historical data sample size but not what it’s estimating. Bayes provides a simple approach to explicitly model bias from historical controls. fharrell.com/post/hxcontrol @vandy_biostat #Statistics #clinicaltrials

Tragically, kids are often left out of #clinicaltrials. Not so for the SNAP Trial, which brings data from adults and kids together using a sophisticated #Bayesian model. Our new statistical 'blueprint' details how we make it work (so you can too!). link.springer.com/article/10.118…

On Day 4 ASC2023 ASC/OZCOTS Keynote speaker Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter discussed Trust vs Trustworthiness of communication of data-derived evidence with the audiences.

2327 citations, untold millions of dollars spent chasing a non-existent result based on manipulated images that were easily spotted in post-pub peer review. In addition to retraction, it would be nice to prevent things like this in the future. Can haz quality assurance plz?

Congratulations to the PICOBOO Investigator Team for their paper published BMC - 'Statistical considerations for the platform trial in #COVID19 #vaccine priming and boosting' led by first-author Michael Dymock trialsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
