Awarded every two years by @Science_Academy, the Moran Medal honours outstanding Australian scientists in statistics & related fields. Huge congratulations to our Co-Director @_MargaritaMB on receiving this prestigious award — a truly well-deserved recognition! 🎉🥳 #WomenInSTEM
A few weeks ago I went to Canberra to receive the Moran Medal at the lovely Shine Dome of the Australian @Science_Academy. It was a huge honour, and wonderful to hear talks from all corners of science and to learn about the Academy's great work supporting science - pics below!
🚨A MUST-READ piece led by @_MargaritaMB with John Carlin and @rush_099 (now in press in Epidemiology) #EpiTwitter #CausalTwitter #CausalInference #OpenScience✨👇
NEW PAPER! (in press in EPIDEMIOLOGY)
Have you wondered:
