There’s a lot of differing points of view here. And amongst all the proposals, lobbying, charities, researchers… There’s the people I really care...
To get back to the original question… wasn’t one of the points of DecodeME to get a cohort that can be used again? Many of us gave permission not...
I should have realised you would have :) That asynchronous nature I think works really well for me and others. And I’m absolutely sure there’s...
I wonder if there’s a way of analysing the records of those who consented as part of DecodeME, in conjunction with this data, to perhaps correct...
Thanks @Trish Good to know. It felt like the intention was good but I got quickly lost. I say this as a child of someone with a PhD in the social...
As soon as you say that you are excluding all severe people and probably a lot of moderate. It’s a problem many studies have had, the barriers of...
Quite funny given they have accessible tools to be able to listen to the article. But then use language to make it quite inaccessible. While...
Nope. Not a modern well fitted external one. I have a portable air conditioner (so a heat pump) and that is noisy! But I have to have it or I get...
Thanks @jnmaciuch :) I’ve added some resources on cytokines and a couple of non-signup/paywalled osmosis resources from youtube for earlier...
Don’t we need both? Good people with good ideas and good people working hard to get the funding and wider support? Neither alone solves anything,...

Let’s be honest, the UK government spending review is coming up and this could be setting budgets for multiple years for many organisations...
That seems a key point. People working together. Both researchers and charities.
The author seems to see the possibilities and that these tools obviously are and will continue to be used to help push the field forwards but also...
I honestly have no idea what it may be. All of this paper looks reasonable and like the best stab we have given the limitations in...
Not the really accurate correlation you could do with proper data analysis but if people want a visual look, here’s ONS data from the last Census...
But to do so we need to convince people, most likely politicians and policy makers, to fund the actually important scientific work. And that’s...
Age would be an interesting thing to compare the data with. Shouldn’t be too difficult for someone with access to the data and some R knowledge…...
Thanks both of you. Yes I’m quite used to not having things straight these days. It seems a useful thing to be comfortable with when looking at...
A recent and interesting blog post on use of AI/ML in drug discovery https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/end-disease It also links to lost...
