4/ JUNIPER Fellow spotlight: Joe Hilton (@joebhilton.bsky.social) - University of Manchester 🧪 Research interests: Role of population heterogeneity in different aspects of public health 📋 Fellowship plans: Lead JUNIPER activities that bridge gap between health economics & mathematical epidemiology

Earlier this month, our colleague Sainan Chang presented at the King’s Health Economics Workshop, sharing research on: Early Economic Modelling to Estimate Cost-effectiveness and Value-based Price of a Gene Therapy for Urofacial Syndrome.

This is part of the reason why I have suspended all travel to the United States indefinitely. A Swiss teacher wanted to celebrate her birthday in New York with friends but instead was detained, shackled, and sent off to a detention center in New Jersey. No thanks! www.nzz.ch/english/you-...

New blog post from me: Further Adventures in Open Source Modelling www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/f... I discuss the opportunities that have arisen from making our breast cancer screening model open access and our shift to becoming consumers of open research as well as producers.

Catch our centre lead Prof Rachel Elliott on Humans of Clinical Academia!

If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry. If this was coming out of Russia or China, we would deplore such an authoritarian attack on freedom of expression.

I am beyond excited to share that you can now apply to observe a @wellcometrust.bsky.social #DiscoveryResearch shortlisting Committee! If you plan to apply to us in the next 2 years, apply to be an Observer now to better understand what happens once you click submit! wellcome.org/grant-fundin...

NEXT WEEK: Join Professor Katherine Payne’s talk on generating economic evidence to understand the potential impact of pharmacogenetic testing #IHEA #healtheconomics #pharmacogenetics healtheconomics.org/event/econ-o...

Productive day of R coding today. Started with model 90% complete. Finished with model 50% complete.

Not sure if its a feature, a bug, or just because I don't follow enough people yet but my favourite thing about this site is that occasionally you reach the end of it. Like you have the discover tab to find out everything that's going on in the world, get annoyed and then it just runs out

As part of PhDs and fellowships it's seen as a good thing to go on research visits. When I was writing my fellowship application I wanted to work this in but as a parent with young kids it's difficult to spend a big chunk of time abroad. So I'm trying to do more frequent short visits instead 1/n

We’re thrilled to launch DaCHE - Danish Centre for Health Economics on Bluesky! 🎉 Follow us for updates from the DaCHE team: ✅ Our newest publications and reports ✅ Highlights from conferences, workshops, and research visits ✅ Collaboration opportunities and job postings ✅ ...And much more!

Come work with me! Looking to carry out model-based economic evaluations for two projects relating to cancer diagnosis. Deadline for applications is 27 November - happy to answer questions about the role! Further details at tinyurl.com/4pvahsy7

Good to see that we're getting more people on here now. Feel like the next step is generating more content so I'm going to post a thread about my research for new followers and people I haven't spoken too in a while! So hi bluesky, I'm Stu and I'm a health economist 1/n

I've created a #healtheconomics starter pack! There's a few other great packs out there but in this one I've tried to make it more international! 🌎 Let me know if you'd like to be added or if you have recommendations. And feel free to share! go.bsky.app/8Lj8FLB

The Health Economics Feed seems to be working. There just is not much activity (yet!). What you can do: 1) Subscribe: bsky.app/profile/did:... 2) Mention 'health economics' or '#healthecon' in a post if you want it to show up in the feed. 3) Share the feed with all your health econ colleagues.

A second starter pack of Health Economists is now ready! go.bsky.app/6S4Q9Mn Thanks @shooshan.bsky.social for creating the list! #healtheconomics #healthecon #econsky

Gave a talk at a PPI day yesterday. We did an icebreaker where everyone had to draw what "cancer research meant to them". All the researchers drew test tubes/computers/stethoscopes and the PPI group all drew things about hope, happiness and making people's lives better.

Hello Bluesky. Going to make my first post about our new paper: A Discrete Choice Experiment of Older Self-Funders’ Preferences When Navigating Community Social Care. www.hindawi.com/journals/hsc...
