I find it somewhat disappointing that medRxiv does not accommodate the use of the "ΓΆ" in my surname and instead only allows the internationalized spelling.

After more than 7 years working on it, I’ve just submitted the manuscript for Discovering Statistics using R second edition. Tonnes more work on website/package and so on, but getting to this stage is monumental psychologically. It’s the book I feared I’d never finish.

Gender equality in research publishing is a responsibility for everyone A concerted effort is needed to support women in their choice of journal when submitting their manuscript.

Women make up only 16% of corresponding authors who submit to Nature, a new Springer Nature analysis revealed. This is not enough - there are 30-40% #womeninSTEM

We want to change it, through targeted editorial policies & outreach. But change will take everyone!

Check out our new OCD GWAS (53,660 cases and 2,044,417 controls) in @natgenet.nature.com 🧬🧠

Genetic risk was associated with excitatory neurons in the cortex and hippocampus. There was much genetic overlap with anxiety, depression, and anorexia.
