Real World Data Science sits down with Helen Miller-Bakewell of the UK Office for Statistics Regulation to talk data sharing and linkage in government – progress made, hurdles to overcome, the importance of public engagement, and why ‘social licence’ is key.

🚨 CfA - We are looking for a new colleague (3 years, 65%)!
Candidates should be willing to do a PhD in Political Science and be interested a) in concepts such as #Polarization, #Politicization, #Democracy, #Sustainability and b) in methods of #ComputationalSocialScience and / or #DataLinkage.
I am happy to provide more information about a highly interesting position in a very nice team and department that is located at the (only) lake in Muenster! Deadline: 11.06.2023! @politicalscience

Developing models for consent in health data research is not straightforward. Three articles I used this week to contrast my views & practice:
Overview of approaches:

https://bmcmedethics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12910-020-00519-w argues for #InformedConsent since commonly invoked arguments "duty of easy rescue", "only insignificant harms", and "consent bias" do not establish a perfect duty.
Partly in response, https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17470161211058311 for an opposing view in the context of #DataLinkage.
Really still trying to connect, also with the international community. I am working in #healthservicesresearch at the #UniversityofCologne, heading a research group of 12. I am mostly working of secondary/ #claimsdata analysis, also #datamanagement and #datalinkage. Other work topics are #integratedcare and #businesscase development for #HealthIT.
Outside work I do #DIY ( #woodworking #metalworking ), #gardening and #beekeeping
Short #introduction: birdsite refugee, long-time computer #programmer with a background in #physics, #space and #cosmology aficionado, interests in graph-related (as in #graphtheory) work for #datalinkage, #calligrapher, full-circle #bellringing, video and #tabletop #gaming, proud of my kids’ independent thought, pronouns: he/him, Aussie living on #Biddegal country.
