UK: we want to be a science superpower Also UK:

Postdoc salaries at UK universities start at below the new government minimum threshold for skilled workers. Meaning universities will hardly hire from abroad. Inward looking policies are self destructive.

We're thrilled to be getting the MENISCUS study underway - an RCT to assess whether our intervention improves educational attainment, mental health symptoms, menstrual management & quality of life for girls in secondary school in Uganda. #menstruationmatters

The fact that we know what the verdict SHOULD be but remain unsure of what it WILL be speaks volumes about our nation. We have work to do.

After wk 1 of vaccinating in a small town pharmacy I can see that our role is not to run a numbers game. It is about clinical conversations with the vulnerable and the hesitant, assisting the less-than-mobile, the internet un-savvy. We did those things and made a difference.

"The government missed the initial explosion of COVID-19 cases because, despite its many plans to analyze data, it assumed that data would simply materialize."

Incredible read -- not just on @COVID19Tracking but also more broadly on what data are & are not... https://t.co/vPdz6uADJC from @yayitsrob @alexismadrigal

THINK LIKE AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST: Lately I have been asked why we are seeing a dramatic turnaround in cases in the US. Is it vaccines? Herd immunity? An artifact due to a drop in testing? Behavior change? Weather?? A few tweets about how I step through this question. 1/6

So looking forward to joining this team!

Yes... my grandmother (in FL) is very excited that her *epidemiologist granddaughter got her the vaccine from London!* A very glamorous take on my eventbrite-refreshing efforts...
