Spectacular 'bad science' in BMC Endocrine Disorders. 10 variables 3 models 4 comparisons=120 p-values but authors focused on 2 values<0.05.
All respect to reviewer 1 for pointing out errors https://t.co/3BoslZinWN but shame on R2 & the greedy journal. Unhelpful rubbish!

@MattGrossmann It was no fun at school, but I now truly relish being the world’s only Gavin RH Sandercock. I’m easy to Google -so take that all you’Tim Smiths’ out there.

[Gavin Sandercock @grhsandercock]

How many people are truly physically acitve: 66% or 6%? See what difference a definition makes in research from #universsityofessex on more than 250000 English adults in #PLOSONE: https://t.co/hpOFAlNGth

[Gavin Sandercock @grhsandercock]

‘Homeapathy’ noun. A negative or depressive emotional state or torpor; typically as a result of prolonged periods spent work or study performed at one’s usual place of residence

@isitbacarditime @CMO_England Surely vulnerable adults should simply adhere to the current guidance provided for them - it makes no difference if you risk infection from a child or an adult.

[Gavin Sandercock @grhsandercock]

Sensible, logical & brave guidance. We cannot sacrifice children's education 'just in case' they get ill. The 20 deaths registered in under 19s are all tragic but three times that many children drown each year; life is risky: manage.

I’m more concerned for the 12% who take a poll to vote ‘don’t know’ than I am about the results! Who are you?

[Ben Goldacre @bengoldacre]

This is correct.

[Gavin Sandercock @grhsandercock]

@bengoldacre Who voted? Was it the same people who spell the verb ‘practice’ say ‘expresso’ and use ‘octopi’ as a plural.

@chrismcmanus1 @pedlarcr @drjamesfaulkner @profchriscooper KUDOS: amazing work despite meddling of more ‘supervisors’ than a Vegas golf course, an 8 year stretch, +full time work

[Gavin Sandercock @grhsandercock]

I actually read 50 confusing pages of Borisisms https://t.co/HtQHcsf50n -learnt that Tennis and Angling are 'OK' now Question is then why lock them down to begin? what else could we be doing - risk of infection listed

@bengoldacre If HS2 stopped one mile short of the proposed destination It would save enough cash to build a cycle lane along every major road in the country (& help us to avoid Birmingham)

REJECTION LETTER from Peer reviewed Journal confirms authors’ beliefs; ‘Papers should not be a non-finding & should not show that a program studied does not work’ honestly?

[Gavin Sandercock @grhsandercock]

“GROWING OBESITY CRISIS” Factcheck! BMI falls in summer holidays already- but...Schools could really help maintain activity levels and improve health that way

[LondonSEPriPEHWB @LondonPehwb]

Schools should be kept open all summer, running sports clubs, in a bid to tackle Britain's growing obesity crisis: https://t.co/8CdXH7Wj4D Maybe @educationgovuk needs to make it mandatory for a % of #PEPremium grant to be allotted for the staging of such provision=all costs met

[Gavin Sandercock @grhsandercock]

Good to hear but you’d Get the same answer for books, security or more computers. Good start and great idea

[ukactive @_ukactive]

Majority of the general public have said they would like more physical activity made available in schools https://t.co/a7SspSjkkM

[Gavin Sandercock @grhsandercock]

@ThePoke You can tell the accused is British by trying to make amends for thei Utter stupidity in an albeit futile gesture

[Gavin Sandercock @grhsandercock]

Sedentary time improves academic attainment...interesting one for the policy makers!

[ISPAH @ISPAH]

New research! #physicalactivity and sedentary time are directly associated with academic performance in a longitudinal study. https://t.co/y7tlGshhQB @pfeif51 @JPAHjournal
