I *love* teaching collider bias with dice. And seeing the shocked (and angry) faces when the (seemingly) paradoxical results are revealed 😂

No one teaches collider bias like @pwgtennant.bsky.social in the #CausalIntroCourse.

Lighthearted dice rolling 🎲 before the big reveal. Puzzled looks. Then 🤯 shock, as the implications for their research fields sank in. You could hear a pin drop during the compelling lecture that followed! 👏🏻

Well done to Brittney Prusty, Stuart Flanagan & all the clinical research team for work on small volume blood testing for #HIV, aiming to reduce barriers to monitoring.
Poster highly commended! 🥇

A male Bearded Tit caught mid-leap between two reed stems, wings tucked, little feet ready to land and eyes intensely focused on its destination: perfectly embodying the bold 'just go for it' Monday energy.

Now more than ever, we must step up action and protect #HealthForAll.

Recent funding cuts are hitting global health hard—let’s take action before it’s too late! 🧵

The deadly consequences of a pause to #PEPFAR.
Conservative estimates 100,000 excess #HIV deaths in one year.
We should think about other spin off impact too, eg for #HBV treatment.
