    Lots of the (publicly stated) criteria we shortlist on are really hard to judge from a CV + generic cover letter. No matter how good you are for the job we just won't know if you don't tell us.

    Advice to people applying for postdocs: a proper cover letter saying why you're excited about the specific project and why you'd be good at it will put you ahead of 80% of applicants. In the last few selections I've done it would have automatically got you an interview.

    & worth saying that when I say "your" data, you should remember that u r merely the trusted custodian of new knowledge, generated from samples publicly given, for analyses funded by charities & taxpayers, privileged to be given 1st view over the scientific horizon. Nothing more.

    Finding myself musing that we develop prediction rules of ‘good’ datasets, but in practice doctors use tests in their ‘grey zone’. Do we need to consider this in implementation studies?

    Saw a doctor today about our son's possible eczema. She asked if either parent has it. The AUC of parental history for predicting eczema in under 4s is about 0.58. How do physicians use this info? How do they weigh it against other info? Is it pure instinct or are they trained?
