Universities throughout the UK are internationally recognised for their research excellence, contributing over £54 billion annually to the economy. However, sustained financial constraints risk eroding this strength. Drawing on member survey data from Universities UK (UUK) and the Association of Research Managers and Administrators (ARMA), this…

Medical students are taught the importance of variable relationships in scientific research. We propose augmenting this education with teaching about direct acyclic graphs (DAGs)--a graphical model used to analyze complex systems of variables. DAGs are increasingly used in medical research and education about their creation and use would be…
