Congratulations to UoM Physics Theory researcher Annie Davies on winning one of 3 Student Awards at the Conference of the International Society for Clinical Biostatistics for her work on "Random Walks and Network Meta-Analysis”, using complex systems ideas in medical statistics.

Breaking: Courageous Labour MP Dawn Butler ✊🏾💙 has just been told to leave the Chamber by Deputy Speaker for raising my film which public have sent to 27 MILLION VIEWS in protest at Prime Ministers rampant lying in Parliament & calling PM a lier Thank you for your courage Dawn

#StandWithAfghans, Boris Johnson. G7 today, take action to protect vulnerable people: - Extend timeline for evacuations so all at risk can reach safety - Show leadership & take 20k+ refugees this year - Give sanctuary to people, however they reach the UK #evacuationsnow

I was kid who did loads of his shows and then grew up to proudly and openly non-binary. It truly hurts and leaves me feeling displaced. #NotAGimmick then and #NotAGimmick now.

All I can say is we had a trans person leading a Disney musical this afternoon. Felt powerful, correct and not remotely gimmicky. @robin_sds is a star.

Retarded kernels for longitudinal survival analysis and dynamic prediction (with Annie Davies, ACC Coolen) arxiv.org/abs/2110.11196 We present a new method for survival analysis & dynamic prediction for patients w time-dependent covariates. More parsimonious & practical ... >>

Work on survival analysis (previous tweet) is all about hazard rates & predicting time-to-event. At same time as finishing this was studying hazard ratios (stroke, bleeding) of different blood thinners (needed after pacemaker implantation). Different form of work/life balance.

Boris Johnson: *shoots someone dead on live TV* Keir Starmer (crossly): Boris Johnson simply must apologise

Preprint: "Network Meta-Analysis: A Statistical Physics Perspective", with Annie Davies arxiv.org/abs/2203.11741 Network Meta-Analysis (NMA) is used to combine evidence from networks of medical trials. We believe statistical physics can make useful contributions, but >>

Thanks for this @greg_jenner! A lovely surprise after buying your book in Blackwell's, Oxford’s Bookshop 🥰

We are saddened to have lost Lloyd Cawthorne, an outstanding lecturer and inspirational teacher. His students created an impromptu memorial last Friday. Our thoughts are with his friends and family. UoM Physics & Astronomy PhysSoc Manchester!

Review on network meta-analysis & statistical physics. NMA=technique to combine evidence from medical trials. Analogies with electrical networks, random walks & more. Idea of paper is to attract physicists to this field. Made possible by Annie Davies doi.org/10.1088/1742-5…

I wonder who wrote this 😜 ? (With Annie Davies).
