New 📦: {GLMMcosinor} extends cosinor modelling with GLMM-ness! Lots of flexibility for fitting models appropriate for rhythmic data with non-Gaussian responses and hierachical structures (i.e. repeated measures)

Have you got a question about research funding that could be answered by research? We are gathering questions here qsurvey.qut.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_bq……, with the list of current questions here aushsi.shinyapps.io/research_prior……. With
Paul Glasziou
Madeleen vdMerwe
and Sharon Sanders.

Highly recommend this piece from John Mandrola, MD on the tension between media hyped (but flawed) studies and expert commentary.

'Flawed studies get hammered if the Top People don’t like the result but not if they like the result.'

Two of my guests today on Einstein A Go Go 3rrrfm listened to the show when they were children and somehow ended up as scientists! There is a 50% chance that I will cry on the show today....(and yes....I feel old too!).

Disappointed ABC News has published an entire story based on a conference abstract. I can't find the abstract in the current conference programme (is it a poster?)

🤖 So #ChatGPT wrote the first sentence of this Elsevier article. Any other parts of the article too? How come none of the coauthors, Editor-in-Chief, reviewers, typesetters noticed? How can this happen with regular peer-review? pubpeer.com/publications/C…

From a paper I found today:

'The c-index of the model is .794, a value that is only decimals away from what is commonly taken as a good predictive capability'

Close but no 🍾!

I've made an app that checks a BibTeX file against the Retraction Watch database to help people avoid citing retracted papers. Details here: medianwatch.netlify.app/post/retractio…

Melbourne STEM ECRs - are you interested in being on radio?
I'm working on the calendar for Einstein A Go Go for the coming months and I want to fill the airwaves with some more ECRs. First timers are most welcome.
Shoot me a DM if you are interested in talking about your work.…

Happy #IWD2024 ! Here's to all those who champion diversity and inclusion through their everyday actions.

To those who don't need a day to remind them to say 'You're doing amazing things. Keep going. You got this'

I am privileged to know you 💪❤️ #womeninSTEM #WomenInReseach

Congratulations Robin Blythe for passing your final seminar last Friday & for everything you have achieved during your PhD Centre for Healthcare Transformation QUT School of Public Health and Social Work (PHSW) 🎉

📢Exciting News! We are proud to announce that our biostats co-lead Sabine, with MISCH co-authors Sophie Zaloumis & Jessica Xu, is the first author of a groundbreaking publication in The Lancet Haematology! Their paper introduces new haemoglobin thresholds that redefine anaemia👏👏

The first GCR Connect webinar for 2024 is on next week. Adrian Barnett will present: Bad Statistics in Medical Research. The talk is relevant to any GC using statistical methods in their research, as well as the broader community to help better identify issues in the literature

NEW PAPER and some positive findings of practice in prediction model research

Prediction model protocols indicate better adherence to recommended guidelines for study conduct and reporting

shorturl.at/agJ58

Are spelling and citation errors the most serious problem in research papers? No

Are these errors a sign of rushed practice? Most likely

Do they represent the tip of the iceberg in today's 'publish or perish' culture? Yes

with Adrian Barnett - article now available open access👇

New paper! Check out this paper on confounding-adjustment methods for the causal difference in medians led by Daisy Shepherd with Margarita Moreno-Betancur and Ben Baer : bmcmedresmethodol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
