Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

J Clin EPi @jclinepi.bsky.social has a unique focus on meta-research. I've co-led a November editorial reflecting on the variety its content, and how an even richer balance might be achieved. Methodologists assemble! www.jclinepi.com/article/S089... @davidit.bsky.social @andreatricco.bsky.social

Ever wonder about the basis for fear-mongering & conspiracy theories about mRNA vax? Wish you had a place to go when someone cites "proof"? I've got you covered! In my latest @plos.org I buckle up for the waves of anti-vax muck likely to come in 2025. 1/2 absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2024/12/28/g...

1/ Excited to share thoughts on two excellent blog posts about clinical trials! First up: "The Case for Clinical Trial Abundance" by @ruxandrabio.bsky.social and Willy Chertman . They argue we need more clinical trials & that bureaucracy hampers faster progress. A sentiment I fully share!

Methods guidance is evolving. Here the authors chose to provide explicit recommendations both in favor but also agains certain methods. I think that that’s the way forward!

Does #randomization ensures balance of risk factors between groups? Consider this: In Denmark 860 individuals were randomly allocated to either intervention or control. Individuals were unaware of their allocation. No intervention took place. Mortality was higher in the intervention group (p=0.003)

Hi qualitative researchers! For my teaching, I was searching for something like PICO for qualitative. I found SPIDER and like it! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22829486/ Is anybody aware of any other scheme for systematic question / problem / objective formulation in a qualitative study?

For patient-focused research, there are very few useful research aims, and none of them are "identifying risk factors.” Seriously! 😜 (ICYMI) statsepi.substack.com/p/sorry-what...
