You've heard of the many analysts projects, right? Scholars give the same dataset/question to a bunch of researchers & they still get different answers. Why is that? Data cleaning! This is consistent with Gelman's "garden of forking paths." Small coding decisions often drive results.

Top work Laura!

This is excellent. Well done Alena, Eleanor and team.

🚨 New Research Alert! 🚨 In our latest study we found that: 🍔 Online food delivery services (OFDS) use increased from 16% to 25% in just three years. 🏠 The impact of physical food outlets on out-of-home meal consumption is weakening as OFDS availability grows.

The dry stone wall metaphor for systematic reviewing. "Whereas the conventional systematic reviewer’s task is statistical (to summarise data), the dry stone wall reviewer’s task is interpretive (to make sense of those data)."

Living in more walkable neighbourhoods with lower availability of takeaway food outlets is associated with lower adiposity and improved trends over time. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...
