Looking forward to seminar in @ImperialSandC today from @Sudiptodas_RCSI @RCSI_Irl @RCSI_Research @MCT_RCSI

This looks pretty cool! Must have required massive resources, but I'm sure there's a lot to be found in that data

Our iPOP health paper is out! https://t.co/iZEwnmcDwX

@jimiflanUK a potential journal club on the perils of confirmation bias, complex phenotypes and small sample sizes?

I saw a comment: “you can get an entire field with hundreds of studies analyzing the behavior of something that doesn’t exist”

Obviously proud to see the Cambridge women’s team win today, but biggest respect goes to Oxford’s Lizzie Polgreen for her one line takedown ‘This must be the hardest interview you’ve ever given’ ‘Well the last time I rowed in this race in 2011, no one interviewed us’ Says it all.

To all the awesome women in science I have the privilege to know, you have my full support any time some idiot tries to deny the biases you face in every aspect of our work. (And I'm sure many of the articles cited in this excellent thread also apply to other sectors)

[Ed Curry @edcurryphd]

@Sudiptodas_RCSI @colmr @MPrencip @GerardLBrien @scienceirel Well done!

[Ed Curry @edcurryphd]

@MagnaniLab_ICL Finally made it onto a plane, 5hrs after getting to the airport. Looks like I'll miss the first batch of talks, so I'll be asking the Magnani Lab to bring me up to speed later!

[Ed Curry @edcurryphd]

@MagnaniLab_ICL Eurostar, great choice!

[Ed Curry @edcurryphd]

@ErickLoomis Thanks for highlighting! I'm going to use this as an example in one of our undergrad teaching sessions now.

[Ed Curry @edcurryphd]

@SerenaNikZainal Agreed! Is part of the problem that it's a lot easier to make reviews available for papers that are published and grant applications that are awarded, not the many which are rejected? And if not public, a recipient of rejection has no obligation to receive criticism fairly?

[Ed Curry @edcurryphd]

Another great postdoc opportunity here...

Great postdoc opportunity here...

[James Flanagan @jimiflanUK]

We have a new postdoc opportunity in the Flanagan Lab #epigenetics #postdoc #ovariancancer funded by @OvarianCancerUK @ImperialSandC | closes 18th Oct 2018 | Imperial College London https://t.co/s9GW6xQrHc

Delighted to see our work online in @GenomeMedicine We found TFs binding to genomic regions with tumour-specific chromatin compartments https://t.co/RULkwLnSJV

This grotesque lie matters because it is precisely this fiction upon which the Brexit/Trump narrative of scrounging migrants was built. https://t.co/UFdGn5Nu94

[Ed Curry @edcurryphd]

Interesting discussion on clinical context: is the market those CUPs where IHC and light microscopy based diagnosis fails? #ImpJC

[Ed Curry @edcurryphd]

But model details would be very interesting: which probes were informative for which classification decisions? #ImpJC

[Ed Curry @edcurryphd]

All agreed, this looks like a really interesting tool for diagnosis of Cancers of Unknown primary. #ImpJC
