This is the thing I've been working on for what feels approximately like forever, but is finally being used for real in the wild. The hardest and most fun code I've ever written:

Among the many lessons here is the extraordinary power of small, mixed teams: developers, clinicians, academics (or all 3 in 1 like @dr_c_morton!) working closely together and learning from one another. There's no way this could have been achieved on these timescales otherwise.

I am (truly) honoured that privacy advocates @medConfidential are pleased with our work. Their legitimate concerns helped inform our new model for secure analytics. I'll explain more about how we built the platform on thread in a moment.

This is, simultaneously, the largest COVID study the world has ever produced and (probably) the smallest COVID study our team will ever produce. From pipe dream to results tables in 5 weeks. A mad, mad ride and an unbelievable privilege to be part of. Lots more to come.

BING BONG important NEW PAPER from my @EBMDataLab and @openprescribing group at Oxford, with immediate narrow safety implications, and then wide strategic implications for digital health research. We have found a breach of safety guidance that is more prevalent in one EHR..

Finally released v4 of WhiteNoise (Python static file server): whitenoise.evans.io/en/stable/chan… Only a year later than first promised (open source life, eh?)
Shout out to mosh.org for letting me debug server issues from the fast lane of the M40 over a flaky mobile connection. (From the passenger seat, I should probably add.)
Really, actually, very excited to be joining @bengoldacre and his @EBMDataLab team in Oxford
Proud to have worked on this with @mikejthompson, highlighting a very important issue. (Need help with your #dataviz project? Get in touch!)
