A lot of my research is about - polymyalgia rheumatica, or PMR.
Here's a summary of a recent project on which I collaborated. Methods were outside my comfort zone, so I learned loads about those, as well as disparities in care and how PMR really affects people

Strange but interesting. Really impressive detective work to find the cause of the problem
Last year we encountered a strange glitch in one of our surveys…the word “yes” was being replaced with the word “forks” in response options. Read on to learn how we unraveled what was causing it, how we ensured it didn’t impact the data quality, and what to do if it happens to you!
How a glitch in an online survey replaced the word ‘yes’ with ‘forks’
Dating back to at least early 2023, a bizarre and alarming technical glitch started popping up in some organizations’ online surveys and forms.
