Yet more unnecessary destruction of Oxford's green spaces by Oxford Labour. Please build on brownfield sites instead. @cllrsbrown.bsky.social @maryoxford.bsky.social @clvoxford.bsky.social

31 affordable houses, to be built on the Bertie Place recreation ground off Abingdon Road, have been given planning permission at this evening’s Oxford City Council planning meeting. Local residents had organised a ‘Save Bertie Park’ campaign, arguing that the replacement play area is insufficient.

My wife is in Alzheimer's research. It turns out that the same bogus "quantile regression" methods that have been used to exaggerate genomic findings (bsky.app/profile/ent3...) are also being used to promote marginally effective AD treatments.

Yesterday @kph3k noted that I "loathe" decile analysis as a way of describing the results of a PGS analysis. The subsequent discussion clarified why I loathe it-- it's a misleading way of reporting results, a systematic sleight of hand to disguise the import of a small effect. /1

When we acquire multimodal MRI data, they give us complementary views on the same tissue. How can we combine this rich information to improve the specificity of tissue modelling in MRI?

Finally signs of spring! Last night, first sighting of Great Crested Newts - 6 large adults heading down to the pond (iphone photo not great, but you can see the male's white tail stripe and the crest flopped down along the back), and today the geese arrived for the summer.

✅ The UK Government has today granted access to half a million UK Biobank participants' coded GP data for health research. This change will dramatically increase the power of UK Biobank's dataset to advance the diagnosis, treatment and management of conditions handled by GPs.

One lovely day in the middle of a cold, grey, wet week. Pond is semi-frozen, sun is shining on the pollarded willows who are growing back red. A few bullrushes are starting to go to seed.
