Missing data? Don't drop observations! A longitudinal study in @hrsisr shows multiple imputation with predictive mean matching performs well, is easy to implement, and helps recover unbiased results

My favourite thing to talk about is polygenic risk scores! 🧬
But until I can get out there and explain them IRL to fam and friends... this website is a great alternative 👇
It was fantastic working with @deanna_brockman @amitvkhera @aklfahed and others (Lia!) to develop it! – at London, Ontario
Signal boost to this amazing interactive polygenic explainer created by my amazing colleagues @deanna_brockman @jsdron @amitvkhera (and more)

Incredible. Rather than working constructively with Scottish Government during pandemic on exams, ScotTories couldn't resist politicising it. They’ve ended up endorsing the best ever results for SNP. Douglas Ross and Ruth Davidson are a disaster.

Big steps ahead w/ pausing shielding & central objective is to get schools back full-time on 11 Aug 👏.

#COVID19 has caused upheaval across the science sector. This is the perfect time to #ReimagineResearch and not slip back into old ways.

If you stop investing in early child development, increase child poverty and make communities more deprived, increases in violence are not a surprise.

Wrote about some of the reasons for the fragmenting union (in context of Wales) a year or so ago. Feels like Covid has exacerbated those issues. news.sky.com/story/amp/wexit…

What’s happening in Scotland is the biggest political story in Britain right now but it’s barely registering in the Westminster conversation.

It's been hard slog getting to where we are now, after 7 weeks of lockdown, so why is @BorisJohnson risking progress by sending people in England, back to work without full #TestTraceIsolate in place to monitor impact? #COVID19 #StayHome
