In the latest study from my PhD & CanGene-CanVar 🧬 programme, published in @jco_asco, we looked at Risks of Second Cancers in Female and Male Breast Cancer Survivors carrying BRCA1 &  BRCA2 pathogenic variants (PVs)  using linked NHS data: Paper: doi.org/10.1200/JCO.24…

🚨 Preprint 🚨 SSRI #antidepressant users report on whether drugs ‘helped’ them. In UK Biobank’s 2nd Mental Health Q, - 20k respondents reported on - 4 SSRI antidepressants, answering ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to whether specific drugs helped What do these reports capture? 1/7

Really fed up with ITV News. I did a pre-recorded interview in which I expressed strong scepticism about the 'coffee only good in the morning' story. But they cut all that out, leaving me apparently supporting their credulous story. I really should not be so naive.

Why do news outlets keep promoting clickbait dietary epidemiology findings when they’ve been shown to be spurious so often? It was dark chocolate b4 xmas, coffee this morning and milk this evening. ieureka.blogs.bristol.ac.uk
