Prof of Biomedical Data Science @ExeterMed and Senior Director @novonordisk My academic research: Causal inference, RCTs, observational data & genetics
Fun fact! There is an interesting connection between the technique of Simulation Extrapolation for dealing with measurement error in statistical models and the mass estimation using lattice quantum chromodynamics youtube.com/watch?v=WZfmG_h5… @DrTonyPadilla @TheStatsGeek
Excited to announce the complete roster of session chairs for the @cshlmeetings Biological Data Science conference. But this is just the beginning! 75% of the speakers are selected from the abstract submissions. Submit yours by August 23! meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.a…
Submit and abstract and join me at the 6th Cold Spring Harbor Biological Data Sciences meeting this autumn/fall, where I’ll be chairing a session on Personalized Medicine and Population Genetics! meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.a…
I am very sad to report the passing of my friend David Draper. I am a better person and statistician for having known you.😢

Methodology research is an intense process mentally & emotionally - this rarely gets mentioned so thought I would share that it’s something I struggle with personally
It’s all consuming as your brain keeps trying to solve problems & generate solutions
Exciting & exhausting

A fantastic offsite meeting at @lmhoxford with the @novonordisk Oxford genetics team , followed by pizza making in the evening. All agreed we shouldn't give up the day jobs just yet !
Political quantum mechanics: leak the fact you might do something, sit back and gauge the reaction , and then go ahead and do it if received favourably by the majority bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…
