👍😢🚙💵 Recently I’ve been wondering if there is value in talking about incentive structures and how they are misaligned in Science. I mean everyone knows (they must?) who is involved and yet so little change happens.

1/10 Since October @ftargument has been running a crowd forecasting project for #COVID19. First in Germany and Poland and now in all ECDC nations + the United Kingdom.

You can contribute your forecasts here: cmmid-lshtm.shinyapps.io/crowd-forecast/ Image 2/10 We submit an ensemble of these forecasts to the ECDC forecast hub where they are combined with many other models from other forecasters and evaluated.

1. New (first) paper now available: Exploring the effects of BCG #vaccination in patients diagnosed with #tuberculosis: Observational study using the Enhanced Tuberculosis Surveillance system

Paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.vacc…
Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/366476

#phdchat #rstats 2. Highlights

Evidence of an association between BCG vaccination and reduced all-cause mortality in TB cases.

Weaker evidence of an association between BCG vaccination and reduced repeat TB episodes in TB cases.

Little evidence of an association with other TB outcomes.
