Sheila Bird - formerly MRC Biostatistics Unit, University of Cambridge
and College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, University of Edinburgh
Why replication (and editors' support) matters especially in
record-linkage studies
By a series of examples, I illustrate the importance of replication in
support of discoveries made by record-linkage; and discuss editors'
reactions to "second" studies.
Jennifer Rogers - Department of Statistics, University of Oxford and
Royal Statistical Society Vice-President for External Affairs
Jen Rogers is the current Royal Statistical Society Vice-President for
External Affairs and during this talk she will present some of the
projects that she has been working on whilst undertaking this role. This
will include media projects and her experiences of interacting with
journalists, as well as work that she has been carrying out to improve
standards in advertising.

Giving evidence to the Science and Technology Committee Research
Integrity Inquiry
Because of my concern about the extent of research misconduct, I
submitted written evidence to the Inquiry and was pleasantly surprised
to be invited to give oral evidence. I was surprised that academic
organisations, which also gave evidence, tried to play down the extent
of research misconduct. They are conflicted by the need for public
perception that research is honest and ethical. A MP, whose responses
suggested to me that she is unwilling to accept that research misconduct
is prevalent, had failed to disclose her conflicts of interest
completely. The Committee has published my letter on that point and the
civil servants involved accepted the concern on that issue and will ask
for fuller disclosure.
The meeting will be held 2.30pm until 5pm, teas and coffees from 2pm
until 2.30pm.
Venue: Room 1.08, Parkinson Building, University of Leeds. For
