Thank you ⁦@PCU_Cambridge⁩ for sharing my blog on adversity in running ⁦@SAFER_Study⁩ . The wave of the pandemic was sink or swim for us, as the closing wall of sound for Beethoven.

Why ‘case finding’ is bad science - ⁦@mgtmccartney⁩ ⁦@felly500⁩, Sam Finnikin, Harriet Hunt, Mike McHugh, ⁦⁦@muirgray⁩ - we need evidence before implementation, including for atrial fibrillation ⁦@SAFER_Study⁩ https://t.co/vQGjjgcrSN
