@DHSCgovuk I am thankful for the hardwork of NHS staff carrying out tests on a Sunday. I just wanted to point out that despite a drop in number of tested today (less than 3000), the increase of positive cases is still quite a lot (232), compared to one day ago (~5000 tested-~300positive).

Please read and support our letter in The Times today calling on the UK government to share the evidence, data, and models on which it is basing its policies. Without complete openness the public’s trust will be lost.

@rebecca_mehra My Italian friend in Turin is doing the same. They are organizing volunteers to send food to elderly who live on their own without risking their lives.

“We have a superficial prime minister who has got no grasp of public health” tks to @sarahboseley for this piece, I also emphasize the importance of public health and the challenges facing NHS in my comment https://t.co/DdMaBjnUXB https://t.co/4BM6mxUQdG @guardian

Prof Nanshan Zhong was the first expert announcing that the covid19 can be spread from person to person in January, which helped Chinese Gov to make the decision to close down the country and slow down the spread dramatically. The lesson is already here, when will UK gov act?

[ERS @EuroRespSoc]

Prof @anitaKS1 Simonds interviewed Prof Nanshan Zhong in a follow-up Q&A to the ERS/@PREPARE_EUROPE webinar on management of #COVID19 in China

In the Q&A, Prof Zhong shares more insights on caring for patients with COVID-19

@agnesquis Your research inspires me a lot! Thank you so much! #womenempowerment #genderparity

Ben Olken's notes on his "Epic Failures" -- research projects that died. A good reminder that for every polished paper we see, there are a lot of failed paper attempts. (Part of MIT's new 2nd-year PhD class on how to write a paper, which I want to take!)

[Rebecca Dizon-Ross @RDizonRoss]

Excited to share our new @nberpubs paper on how parents invest in their children: to maximize output vs. minimize inequality betw kids. One new angle: Are parents averse to unequal inputs or outcomes? Inputs. They equalize how much they give, not outcomes https://t.co/TTzifCSwcq

[Malte Sandner @MalteSandner]

Please submit! Christian Dustmann will give a Keynote.

[David Evans @DaveEvansPhD]

I had to re-write the introduction to a paper, so I diagrammed the introductions of a bunch of development papers in top economics journals.

This is what I learned: "How to Write the Introduction of Your Development Economics Paper."

A small selection of the more than 35 ERC grants won by UCL Economics Department faculty over the years to which should be added grants from Horizon 2020 and other framework programmes. Hopefully UK will remain a committed member of EU research and innovation.
