Mendelian Randomisation (MR) is going to hell in a handcart, with an exponential weekly increase of papers with Mendelian Randomisation in the title, most of them nonsense. 25th April 4.30pm online or in person @ucl I'll talk about what should be done forms.office.com/pages/response…
Very sadly, we have learned of the death of Professor Peter Armitage, CBE. Peter, who worked in a forerunner of the Unit 1947-1961, was a pioneer in developing statistical methodology for medical research. Our annual Armitage Lecture began in 2003 to honour this special man.
We will add an asterisk symbol next to our names with the caption 'These authors contributed equally to this work'
