Evidence Matters

because science reporting and decision-making should be evidence-based. NB: statistics can have a social life and unspoken biography behind them.

@HeldinEU Yes.

It is with a very heavy heart that I advise friends, and colleagues, and followers of Richard Lehman of his passing. His daughter Hannah wishes the news to be shared widely among his academic and medical circles. Richard had been unwell but was active and generous in supporting many of us, right until the end. He was also active on this platform, advocating for patients tirelessly. Richard, my friend, you will be missed. ❤️

@crblease A life of public service well-lived.
Well loved in life, the memory of him is a treasure for those fortunate enough to have met him in any of his capacities.

@HeldinEU My mother would have insisted that this be done for any one who was family, no matter how brief nor remote the association.

@SketchesbyBoze I first read about accidential food poisoning by the confusion of daffodil bulbs and shallots/onions by reading an Agatha Christie short story (The Herb of Death) in Thirteen Problems: The Tuesday Club Murders.

@michaelzlin Anglo-Saxon had the term longsumne lof. Those who die continue their purpose when people tell stories about them to others. The stories change those who hear them. Their influence lives in those who know the stories, or who were changed. You've done this for Pengli. Thank you.

@melb4886 @doctor_oxford @MichaelH14 What did they base that upon? Did they work at NICE? Or were they a member of a relevant committee?

@LucyGoBag Sentiment analysis would be invaluable. Times when I raise it, I get quirky smile at best. It usually attracts a patient explanation to me of how useless social media is for such serious issues. Or an actual sneer with a dismissive chuckle.

[Evidence Matters @EvidenceMatters]

@LucyGoBag I have this feeling about a number of public inquiries.

@pash22 @VerranDeborah @RichardLehman1 @raj_mehta @drjohnm @DBadenoch @PaulGlasziou There was - it came out during his testimony to the Omnibus Special Masters process.
He was so concerned that he reported it to his supervisor. After a real politik discussion, he had his name removed *before* publication.

@RichardLehman1 @raj_mehta @pash22 @drjohnm @DBadenoch @PaulGlasziou For itself - and for the far-reaching consequences for the damage to confidence and trust in trials - Tuskegee?

[Evidence Matters @EvidenceMatters]

@RichardLehman1 @raj_mehta @pash22 @drjohnm @DBadenoch @PaulGlasziou Not a study as such, and probably not the greatest harm (people have mentioned Wakefield and the usual suspects) - but, I think of Freeman and lobotomy.
