The NHS & Social Care are struggling.

Behind the scenes, researchers are working on practical ways to make care better.

From ambulance handovers to teen mental health, I've written about the quiet research funded by @nihr.bsky.social HSDR.

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :(

So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

So true re innovative designs at #CCR25 … first trial (the TARGET Protein trial) was a multi-period cluster crossover design! For full details see the (just published) manuscript ja.ma/4kuYRxv
