How can secondary data be used in education and methods development? 📘 Explore our practical guide to discover 4 key secondary research scenarios, including education & methods development: ow.ly/IHuz50YlH1R ANZUP Cancer Trials Group TOGA MISCH hub #TipTuesday #HealthData

Use real-world data to build real-world research skills.
Secondary data is a powerful tool for education and methods development.

How can secondary data be used in education and methods development?
Existing clinical trials data can be used for:
Teaching statistical and research methods using real-world datasets
Developing and testing new statistical models
Informing machine learning and AI approaches

Dr Kristy Robledo reused well-known datasets to test and demonstrate a new statistical method.
By applying secondary data, her team proved the method was flexible, reliable and useful across different scenarios.
“For researchers to be able to use our new methods, they need to see that it works on real data, not just simulated data!” – Dr Kristy Robledo

The 🍗 or the 🍳? #TidyTuesday Looking at the ingredients of over 2000 recipes online, where are different cuisines found on the chicken vs. egg (x-axis) and butter vs. oil (y-axis) scales? As a Scandinavian, I guess I'm part of the egg+butter outlier! Code: github.com/borstell/tid... #R4DS

A scatterplot on a cream white background with the title "The chicken 🐓 or the egg 🥚?". The square grid is split by four reddish arrows pointing outwards north/south/east/west. A textbox in the top left reads "Based on 2,218 recipes categorized by the cuisine (country, region, culture), this graph shows the proportional frequency of the ingredients chicken vs. egg (x-axis) & butter vs. oil (y-axis) mentioned across recipes of each cuisine". Each point and text in the plot indicates where on a scale from chicken (left) to egg (right) and butter (top) to oil (bottom) the cuisine is located. Turkish is found at the very center of the plot, Chinese and Thai in the bottom left (chicken & oil), whereas Austrian/German/Swiss and particularly Scandinavian are in the top right (egg & butter). An arrow points at the top right data point saying "Scandinavian cuisine is a clear outlier". Visualization: C.
