Our latest paper with Eka Hospital in Pekanbaru and @JonStaynor.
Working with the doctors, meeting the locals, the beautiful Sumatran rainforest was all part of publishing this paper. We hope to inform future public health initiatives with these findings.

@MaartenvSmeden @NoahHaber While we're here, can I ask how researchers get away with not presenting mean difference and 95% limits of agreement on a Bland-Altman plot, or even within a table? One step forward, two steps back in a quest for ethical statistics.

Physical activity and understanding its benefits are important. Help out PhD student @AnnaleiseNaylor and fill out a survey measuring physical literacy and its ability to predict physical activity behaviour in an adult population https://t.co/7PT0NmvrXz

@channa_marsh Congratulations Channa! Enjoy the celebratory bevs🎉

👏 Normalise 👏 Non 👏 Parametric 👏 Data👏

My histograms and box-plots are not skewed, they’re beautiful.

Great research! I definitely owe my current mediocre fitness levels and soft-tissue niggles to running for the sake of escaping indoors.

"Runners’ motivations shifted towards fitness, stress relief, and occupying time... Injury risk was overall higher during the pandemic"

[Alexandra F. DeJong Lempke PhD, ATC @afdlempke]

Thrilled to have this paper officially out!! Check out the results of our survey assessing running behaviors, motivations, and injury patterns during the early days of the pandemic: https://t.co/vgCmgPAnFZ @UVAEaSIL @uvavpr @UVA_Ortho @Jay_Hertel @UVAKinesiology @PLOSONE

“I’m doing this because I want to show people that you can do anything when you put your mind to it.”

Incredible achievement! 100kms nonstop, my knees hurt just thinking about it!

[The Indig Mthn Found @IndigMaraProjct]

He did it, 100k! $13,600 for IMF...heat, humidity, tough conditions to run 5k, let alone 100k!

Perth were very fortunate to cruise through a 5-day lockdown (Despite a horrible bushfire's best efforts). Here's hoping our mates in Victoria can do the same! #3rdtimesthecharm

There’s nowhere in the world that tackled a second wave like Victorians.

There’s nowhere in the world that can stop a third wave like Victorians.

You’ve got this, Victoria. Australians are with you.

Statistical terms: what they really mean

Multicolinearity— they all look the same
Heteroscedasticity— the variation varies
Attenuation— being too modest
Overfitting— too good to be true
Confounding— nothing is what it seems
P-value— it’s complicated

Richardson might be needing to bring the goose step out in the final tonight. How’s this go on knee loads @TheCricBiomech?

[KFC Big Bash League @BBL]

Jhye Richardson gets Josh Philippe with the eurostep! 😮 #BBL10

[Marc Smith @marc__ks]

@TheCricBiomech Great video! I’m enjoying the thought of a conversation between philosophers exploring the structure and movement of Plato’s definition of humans as a “featherless biped”, with the image of a plucked emu in full markup.

[Marc Smith @marc__ks]

@Brett_A_Baxter @CharlotteJD Another great tip! In my case, I was more referring to the neurological illness that is my writer’s block😅

[Marc Smith @marc__ks]

Things are starting to look apocalyptic! Let’s hope day 3 of lockdown has some upside. #perthfires #perthnews

[Marc Smith @marc__ks]

@Cruz_Hogan If things keep progressing the way they are, I don’t think anyone is going to enjoy day 3...

[Marc Smith @marc__ks]

Day 2 of WA’s full lockdown is not as glamorous of a view. Ash is falling from the sky. Truly hoping for safety for all those affected #perthlockdown #perthfires

[Marc Smith @marc__ks]

@JonStaynor How long before this is your reality on a full team slack call?

[Marc Smith @marc__ks]

First day of WA’s full lock down. I could definitely get used to working from the balcony. The city is eerily quiet. Hope all are staying safe! #perthlockdown

When we weren't collecting hundreds of patient's iDXA scans, Dr Martinus got to show me the country side.
