Touched by the responses I’ve had. I wished I’d mentioned the brilliant book by @magswatson1.bsky.social Women in Academia: troubador.co.uk/bookshop/sel... #InternationalWomenDay #IWD

Women in Academia

This book explores the reasons why women in academia earn less, are less likely to be published, cited, funded or promoted compared with male colleagues.

In response to the final few seconds in this podcast, that CB is something to be aware of but really hard to actually DO anything about. Here’s our suggestions in the genetic epidemiology context: journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

Strategies to investigate and mitigate collider bias in genetic and Mendelian randomisation studies of disease progression

Genetic studies of disease progression can be used to identify factors that may influence survival or prognosis, which may differ from factors that influence on disease susceptibility. Studies of dise...

Some said it couldn’t be done. That it was impossible; ridiculous; absurd. But @tomchivers.bsky.social and I have done it: recorded a whole podcast episode about collider bias. www.thestudiesshowpod.com/p/episode-57...
