So frustrating how these two keep being conflated.

Ein gutes Beispiel für den Stellenwert der nichtinvasiven Messung von Kohlenmonoxid im Blut: wien.orf.at/stories/3349... Hätte man im Rettungsdienst diese Möglichkeit nicht, müsste man eine große Anzahl Pat. hospitalisieren, um mittels Blutabnahme eine CO-Vergiftung auszuschließen 1/n

Congratulations to the Oxford women! #boatrace #darkblue Lads, we'll do better next year.

Between 1968 and 1972, twenty-four humans entered lunar space, where the Moon's gravity dominates that of the Earth (within about 66000 km from the selenocenter). Only five of them are still alive.

When Doris Flores was arrested, she begged officers not to separate her from her baby, Briany: “My girl needs me.” Briany was one of thousands of U.S. citizen kids whose parents ICE detained in Trump’s immigration crackdown. Please read their stories: https://propub.li/4ti9WpO

Unsere PhD-Studentin Katharina Tscherny an der @meduniwien.ac.at Bereich #Clinicalpathways wurde von der Ärztekammer NÖ für Ihre Arbeit zu diagnostischen Scores zum Ausschluss eines akuten Herzinfarktes ausgezeichnet. Hier gibt es ein ausführliches Interview mit ihr: book.arztnoe.at/books/1-Cons...

Very nice. Still somewhat limited by the selection of journals available (e.g. currently zero emergency medicine-journals), but really fun to use.

You might call me crazy, but for the gazillion of dollars publishers make from other people's work, I'd at least expect them to check the TITLE of articles they publish. This is obviously NOT a study protocol, as it already contains results: journals.lww.com/md-journal/f... #StatsSky #MedSky

It’s hard to overstate how much blood, sweat and time away from your family goes into the preparation and submission of grant proposals. All for a tiny chance of being selected and pushing the frontier of knowledge. These actions were unconscionable and they will always have been unconscionable.

It’s 17 February! Yes, that’s right – it’s exciting because it’s the 21st anniversary of the publication of a scientific investigation by four men at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology into the effectiveness of tinfoil hats to protect you from government mind control... 🧵

On this International Day of #WomenInScience a short 🧵of publications by female PIs from our group over the last 12 months: - Charlotte Smith led the research on survival prediction models for chronic heart failure: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... 1/n

It’s 10 February, which can only mean one thing. YES, OF COURSE! It’s the 671st anniversary of the townsfolk and students of Oxford marking Saint Scholastica’s day by... er, hammering shit out of each other until over 90 people were dead 🧵

Ich konnte keine Statistik finden, wie viele Schüler*innen in Ö tatsächlich dzt tatsächlich #Latein in d Oberstufe lernen. Feinste Granulierung ist "Gymnasium-Langform", das beinhaltet aber auch RG, neusprachlich, etc. Vielleicht hat @chriswiederkehr.bsky.social Zahlen zur informierten Debatte?

1. Bildung vs. Ausbildung, diese Diskussion kommt immer wieder auf 2. Wir brauchen beides, vielleicht aber relevant zu berücksichtigen, wie lange die Halbwertszeit des Stoffes ist, den wir in der Schule lehren und lernen. 1/n

Some terrifically titled papers from a discovered collection of NASA research documents found in a skip (with thanks to @juliarez.placid.horse)

striking results!

Very nice data visualisation.

🚨NEW PAPER🚨 in #DiagnosticPrognosticResearch with my great colleagues from @oxprimarycare.bsky.social. One of my favorite kind of papers: A prognostic systematic review & meta-analysis of added value. #statssky link.springer.com/epdf/10.1186...

ooe.orf.at/stories/3332... Der Titel des Artikels ist völlig irreführend, und der Einleitungstext widerspricht ihm auch bereits. Wer sich "unwohl fühlt, unter Belastungen leidet", hat eben NICHT "keine Beschwerden". 1/n

Could someone please explain to me the increasing nonsense of letters to the editor being published, citing totally unrelated full papers. I know it is to increase someone's impact factor, but does it really help journal A if they publish a letter citing an article from journal B? #AcademicSky

What is the most profitable industry in the world, this side of the law? Not oil, not IT, not pharma. It's *scientific publishing*. We call this the Drain of Scientific Publishing. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2511.04820 Background: doi.org/10.1162/qss_... Thread @markhanson.fediscience.org.ap.brid.gy 👇

The Difficult Airway Society @dasairway.bsky.social has a special place in my heart. As a non-anaesthetists I was immensely honoured to speak at their conference a couple of yrs ago, & I am very happy to see one of our papers to be cited in their 2025 guidelines www.bjanaesthesia.org/article/S000...

🚨🚨Regular reminder: Applications open until end of Nov! 🚨🚨 (Previously I erroneously stated end of Oct. Sorry!) Interested in doing research on clinical pathways & diagnostic/prognostic models and living in the best city in the world? (👀 @wien.gv.at ) Apply now! #statsky #academicsky

Oh boy, it seems that 32 years after the foundation of #Cochrane, there is still a lot of awareness-raising to be done. #statsky

Another one of our papers made it into the new @ercresus.bsky.social #resuscitation guidelines #EMSky In 2020, researchers climbed Großglockner, Austria's highest mountain, for CPR: sjtrem.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... Great collab between @meduniwien.ac.at, Bergrettung&Bundesheer 📸Max Niederer

PhD-position is fully funded for 3yrs, no teaching obligations. You will be part of the Clinical Pathways & Health Services Research group (clinpath.short.gy/about ) at the intersection of data-, methodological and clinical research, and will work at the world's most liveable city.

A personal story on diagnostic test accuracy. You should read it. (the answer to the personal story is in the comments of the original post)

14 new shows a year about medical doctors. Zero shows ever about medical statisticians. WTF!?

#ThisWeek in 1991! On 2 October, Franz Viehböck became Austria's first astronaut. He was launched on Soyuz TM-13 to the Mir space station with colleagues Toktar Aubakirov and Alexander Volkov, returning on Soyuz TM-12 after just over a week in space. @aseastronauts.bsky.social @fwf-at.bsky.social

HEY friends: recently seen heaps of "disclosures" from AI companies of the energy cost per question you type into chatbots (most recently from Google)? Presenting per-query 'efficiency' is part of big tech's efforts to hide its extremely real and happening-right-now climate impacts! NEW POST -->>>

Nicht nur gibt es bei starker #Hitze mehr Herzinfarkte, wie d ORF korrekt berichtet (steiermark.orf.at/stories/3317...), dieser Effekt betrifft Männer und Frauen auch unterschiedlich, wie wir vor einigen Jahren in einer Analyse zeigen konnten: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #ClimateEmergency

I really dislike how science has started calling almost any fancy computational technique AI. 🧪 The framing of this entire article makes it sound like a benevolent AI independently made these drugs. That is *pure fantasy*. Instead: a team of scientists made a machine learning model for a study.

Was meine Kolleg:innen in 120 bewaffneten Konflikten weltweit leisten, ringt mir größten Respekt ab. Aktuell fühlen sich manche dazu berufen, die Arbeit von Hilfsorganisationen zu diskreditieren. Das ist schlecht, schlecht für uns Menschen. @roteskreuzat.bsky.social www.ots.at/presseaussen...
