Good news, everyone! I have a short piece coming out in The Conversation on Monday that explains the main issues with this study. It's impossible for me to have the same media reach as the original press release. So I'd be extremely grateful if people could help me share it as widely as possible 🙏

Meet Dr Maurice O'Connell @mauriceoconnell.bsky.social, research associate in statistics @manchester.ac.uk. Maurice bring deep expertise in causal inference, machine learning, counterfactual prediction and decision theory to DynAIRx - helping us understand what works, for whom, and why. #Statistics

Postdoc (Manchester, UK) Working on methods for “First Few X” studies in resource-limited contexts. with Thomas House @tah-sci.com, Lorenzo Pellis, Christopher Overton at Univ. of Manchester More details: http://iddjobs.org/jobs/2310
