Dr Nisreen Alwan presenting at a conference discussing ‘health inequity, epidemic injustice and the claim of objectivity’, in front of a room full of people. Dr Alwan is stood next to a screen which says: “Scrutinise the claim of objectivity in public health research. De-stigmatise ‘self-reporting’. It maybe the best way to measure inequity Let's not inflict epistemic injustice in the name of rigour.”

Fantastic keynote by @nisreenalwan.bsky.social at the UK Public Health Science Conference @ukphsci.bsky.social .
Lots of thoughts for me as an epidemiologist about how we define cases and the harm that unconsidered ‘objectivity’ can have in our work.
