UCL – University College London UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

Interested in congenital CMV infection? Apply for this PhD with us, based at UCL and using data from the cCMV Network registry:

I'm at a point where I just suspect collider bias is responsible for everything. Unexpected association? Collider bias. Lost my keys? Collider bias. General sense of creeping existential dread? Collider bias.

Given discussions at I had at #ESCMIDGlobal, it might be useful for new researchers to know how a journal editor screens submissions (obviously this is my approach and so it might differ for others).

Some colleagues I worked with described the first version of any piece of (especially collaborative) writing as the 'sacrificial draft'.

It will inevitably be destroyed, but will hopefully lead to something better.

⚠️WANTED⚠️ Dirty datasets that can be used in training courses! Have you got any great examples of datasets (preferably CC0 or CC-BY) that you think demonstrate some of the key issues with dirty data? I'm interested in teaching how to improve data collection, & about cleaning data once you have it. 📊

Thanks - I mainly only know universities so always interested in what other working environments are like.

If you don't mind me asking, what made the difference in publishing compared to academia?

Do you work on clinical trials?

Two photos of Anna, a young white woman using an electric wheelchair, wearing a blue lab coat that fits her well with tables and dry-lab equipment in the background. Text reads: "A team of researchers and designers led by UCL is looking for wheelchair users working in wet lab environments to user-test what is believed to be the first-ever prototype of a lab coat adapted for wheelchair users."

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users?

This place seems great but I've barely been here a week and my "to read" list is expanding at an unsustainable rate.

Finally moved over here! Who should I be following for infectious disease epi and stats?
