  1. CW: Long thread/17

    Good data-analysis is key to addressing many of our thorniest, most pressing problems. As #BenGoldacre recounts in his inaugural #Oxford lecture, it is both possible and desirable to build ethical, privacy-preserving systems for analyzing the most sensitive personal data (NHS patient records) that yield *scores* of solid, ground-breaking medical and scientific insights:
