For the next Mt Hood Challenge Diabetes Simulation Modeling Conference (which is kicking off this time next week in Malmo Sweden): https://t.co/F0AvCgjCqa) we commissioned @art_bypaiano to produce an art work.

More academia needs to be inspired by art!

Worth watching 1964 Documentary on Surgeon General's Smoking Report that paved the way for anti-smoking initatives of the past few decades.
Sen Thurston Morton questioning the stats at about 50 minute mark has not aged well...

Great to see a health economics article by @FrijtersPaul and co-authors being published in the first volume of the new open access journal Oxford Open Economics @OUPEconomics @upanizza on obesity & self-esteme using #HILDASurvey data.

British Newspaper Archive is a wonderful resource. This 1954 article show how doctors were mainly using economic arguements to convince people to quit smoking.

Ahead of its time? @OHENews 1964 report highlights that "effect of sound nutrition upon physical and mental health is seldom considered. If it were, the health authorities would have to launch an allout attack on the food industry and on methods of production and processing..."

FT article highlighting the benefits of using a modified lottery to allocate research funding.
Lotteries also provide the opportunity to track the impact of research funding- see our protocol:

Interesting interlectual "genealogy" website mapping a family tree of knowledge via PhD students & their supervisors . It includes quite a few health economists. Academia is such a tangled web.

A great initative by @ABSStats, not only does it save researchers time, but it creates a standard citation so that statistics can be correctly attributed to the source data. Hopefully other statistical agencies will follow. @ONS

[Andrew Leigh @ALeighMP]

One for the statistical boffins: all data pages on the ABS website now have a "Cite" button. Here's what clicking it on the unemployment page brings up, for example. @ABSStats

Our study with @antranduy1 @larryroope @aidybarnett showing longer life-expectancy of politicians has been covered by Serbian TV

It would be great to build on this study by adding more countries. @HERC_Oxford @Oxford_NDPH

@isaeminhafalir @SiminskiPeter The is evidence to support this (although I am not entirely sure why other disciplines should charitible to economists by allowing some type of re-scaling): https://t.co/lpCPZTz7tS

[Philip M Clarke @pmc868]

@SusanJMendez The British Academy are using a conditional lottery on its small grant scheme to do just that. Lotteries have the advantage of creating an experiment to measure the impact of research funding, which @aidybarnett and I are undertaking. @SiminskiPeter

The "No" is little like the man in the crowd from "Life of Brian"
You're all individuals!
Crowd: Yes! We're all individuals!
Brian: You're all different!
Crowd: Yes, we are all different!
Man in crowd: I'm not...
Crowd: Shhh!

@petesivey Interesting question of what rate we should use to index the cost per QALY threshold?

[Philip M Clarke @pmc868]

@petesivey @Tube_of_Sand @C__Kronenberg Interesting Ngram (which counts uses of words in Google books) of the term "Buzzwords" seems to have show that it rose in the 1980s and is still with us..,
