Which interventions though?
If there's an intervention with evidence of a causal effect of X on Y*, we should be able to use causal methods to identify populations who will see the most benefit.
*I would hope we have something like this before intervening!

I always wonder why people would approach this issue using prediction methods.
What's the research question that requires a prediction to be made?
What would we do with the prediction once it's made?

There's no point in stopping to think about whether we SHOULD do the thing because we CAN do the thing!

It's a double whammy because it's also an average measure.

Thank you! It's easy to feel demoralised when you look at the big media outlets - what you are doing definitely brings me some hope.

Wow, that's a particularly egregious example of the harms of genetic essentialism in research.

Bizarre logic, but I assume at least some of that is a defense mechanism against feeling helpless.

I was advised never to use a question in an article title if the answer was no. What a ridiculous concept.

I'm glad you're not ending in Swansea itself - Mumbles will be a nice treat to end on!

Sorry @andrew.heiss.phd but I also stubbornly use the %>% operator.

You just know that they're the worst when their self-written bio mentions how many papers their name is on

I've encouraged these conversations between my kids and my grandmother, who grew up in rural County Limerick pre-electrification(!)
The difference between 3 generations of childhood is quite amazing really.

Based on previous performances, you'd back Ayuso at his previous best level to at least stay with Yates or Gee (maybe not this Carapaz?).
It was probably the best decision at the time. If they went all in on Del Toro & lost more time with Ayuso, they'd still be in a tough spot now.

After yesterday, I'm sure there will be teams who will want to attack on the Mortirolo and put as many Kj into Del Toro as possible.

Yes, please do sort out the NHS data - but don't just give it straight to AI companies who only want to extract profit from a public service.
Better to promote 'public good' research instead.

Continue using it from github? github.com/anspiess/pro...
Not sure in this case, but there are lots of technical reasons that packages can be removed from CRAN that don't affect the functionality.
