St George's Day is a good day to remember that the massive rise in English identity, about which a thousand op-eds were written, turned out to have happened purely because the ONS moved it above 'British' in the list of answers.

New paper 'Alcohol consumption and the risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality—a linear and nonlinear Mendelian randomization study' at IJE: academic.oup.com/ije/article/53… led by Nigussie Kassaw and Elina Hyppönen. Brief thread:

There is so much to value in these brilliant 45 mins:

- Free power from covariate adjustment

Shocked, shocked to find that fewer international students means fewer, not more, places for British kids, exactly as predicted by anyone who understood the issues ..

A drug for NASH/MASH fibrosis is a fantastic achievement. Getting that drug to all people who will really benefit, rather than just those who can pay, will be an even more fantastic achievement

NEJM has not one, but two studies on colorectal cancer screening that report only sensitivity and specificity of a new test. I have zero idea how to interpret the results: are they good tests or bad? #ClinicallyRelevantStatistics nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

The uncertainty for these scary estimates of overall early-onset cancer incidence is *extremely* wide in the original paper—a shame this important nuance is lost in both post and article (the estimated sharp incidence jump in 2020 also unexplained?)

Thank you Hugh Thomas for the invitation and the opportunity to revisit the story of how the project started last summer at the EASL School on alcohol-related liver disease.

Great people, great meeting.
