We just wrapped up an unforgettable summer event featuring fun quizzes & games and ending off with an exciting cooking challenge 🍴 A huge thank you to everyone who joined, competed and organised this event, we are already looking forward to the next one!

Last week in Maseru, leaders from Lesotho’s Ministry of Health and local organisations gathered for the 13th National Health Research Symposium. 🇱🇸📊

The event highlighted the importance of locally led, evidence-based research — now more critical than ever! 🩺📚

We had the pleasure of hosting Prof. @stephensenn.bsky.social in Basel for a public lecture on statistical principles in #RCTs.

Thanks to #PPHS for making it possible — and to Prof. Senn for the inspiring talk and visit!

March 26th, Prof. @stephensenn.bsky.social will travel to #Basel and give a presentation on methodology and statistics in #RCTs. He will share his insights on why we randomize trials, the value of balance, whether trials should be representative, and much more.

Data sharing is a big hurdle in Individual Participant Data Mata Analysis (#IPDMA).
Matthias Briel and @alainamstutz.bsky.social participated at a EOSC-ENTRUST workshop to address this problem.
