#AngeleGayetAgeron on gender bias in contributions to authorship in medical research. Women less likely to involved in conception and design, revision, final approval,and obtaining of funding. But more frequently in administration and logistics #SCTOevents https://t.co/WITa445281

[Katie Gillies @GilliesKatie]

Does the inclusion of a biostatitician as a co-author improve the quality of reporting of clinical research? @ulrike_held describes plans for their study and highlights that just by asking the question is changing their local practice #SCTOevents

[Mark R@markrobinsonca@{genomic.social,bsky.social} @markrobinsonca]

I encourage people to pay close attention to how often:
- journal title comes up *before* the science in everyday discussions
- famous speakers are introduced by journal titles they've published in, not the science

Push back, please.

"improvements in methodology and reporting are needed for studies that compare modeling algorithms."

[Gary Collins @GSCollins]

For something more lighthearted, this short paper from 2004 on "How to ensure your paper is rejected by the statistical reviewer" is an enjoyable read (https://t.co/tcoTZTu8CN)

[VaccinesWork 💉 @WorkVaccines]

We leave engineering to the engineers.

We leave surgery to the surgeons.

We leave flying to the pilots.

We leave electrical work to the electricians.

But, we don’t trust vaccine science to the vaccine scientists. We trust Google, YouTube and memes over the professionals.

[EQUATOR Network @EQUATORNetwork]

Does your journal promote reporting guidelines to improve the quality of all health research like @JournalSCI? Let us know!

[Ulrike Held @ulrike_held]

@MaartenvSmeden 😂

[EQUATOR Network @EQUATORNetwork]

Fabulous to see @ImplementSci journal requiring reporting guidelines to ensure complete research papers!

Women have a heart too! I recall seeing this quote on a billboard, to draw attention and appreciation for CVD research in women.
Finally there is a comprehensive review investigating the accuracy of all existing models to predict risk of CVD in women!
