A really great institutional leads away day for the UKRN in Cardiff. Lovely to meet so many e-colleagues in person. Great discussions and exciting initiatives planned! Thanks to Cardiff and JOMEC for hosting!

Had fun meeting our new Statistical Data Science MSc students today. Really excited about this programme which is a collaboration between Computer Science, Mathematics & Statistics and the Humanities. Looking forward to seeing what they can do! #SDS #UniversityOfExeter
A regular lecture room with some bright eyed data science students who have yet to become jaded with the world.

The image this tweet conjures never fails to amuse me. Also, it's my current mood. @mattywin.bsky.social

A great day today. Great atmosphere on campus for graduation, a departmental social with lovely colleagues, and I saw an uprooted tree!

And it leads to this kind of situation where we can't have nice things like reliable abstracts www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
A paper entitled "The over-representation of significant p values in abstracts compared to corresponding full texts: A systematic review of surgical randomized trials"

Fascinating collection of talks & interests at the Maths & Stats, Computer Science and Business school workshop for research collaboration right now. Ranging from fully applied work to pure maths in search of application. Loads of super important work happening. Lots of connections being made!

Coming back to this a year later I can report that one of our pea plants is sprouting again. And our roses are coming again too. It's mid-November!

In March 2021, just as we emerged from lockdown, I was approached to be the independent statistician for a trial (AFRI-c: check out the logo to see a typically heroic trial acronym) exploring whether air filters were effective at preventing respiratory infections (including Covid-19) in care homes.
