A recent study by @SwissTPH found that opening up industrial #Mines in sub-Saharan #Africa, doubles the likelihood of the local population to be #HIV positive.
The results were published in @AIDS_Journal.

We need open data, open code, open review and open science. Stop reviewing only the pdf. Start to review the analysis behind. Request data and code. Request reproducibility

It was a pleasure to work with @KnoblauchAstrid on this publication- it is unique to have such long-term follow-up data on the effects of mining on population health. More to come!

”Conveying uncertainty can take various forms [...]. Journalists need to develop more ways to do this well.”
Well let us researchers know when you figured it out! 😉
This is truly a hard problem that we are also trying to tackle.
