This is a brilliant self-assessment tool developed by our @UKStatsAuth colleagues. Having run/written on ethics of data sharing and use @UKDataService, Iβm impressed with its simplicity. University Research Ethics Committees could take a look @arma_uk#ethics#researchintegrity
Among the unsung heroes of the pandemic are the people behind the coronavirus dashboard, viewed up to 76m times a day. I interviewed @Pouriaaa and @statsgeekclare for @theipaper about the extraordinary human effort behind the website weβre all glued to: https://t.co/ZdEyvw716M

Happy Christmas to all those who have contributed to promoting and achieving scientific #reproducibility this year! See you on the other side! #snow#lovecode@UKDSImpact
Good thread which illustrates the importance of *always* asking key questions about survey data - who responded (not just how many - large samples can be utterly unrepresentative), what questions were they asked, who paid etc
