I need time to try this out for real, but the simplicity/power ratio here looks like it could be pretty extraordinary. Very exciting!
Tiny remark for @kentonv if you're reading: it looks like you've got the wrong code sample immediately following the text "Putting it together, a code sequence like this".
We are the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, at the University of Oxford, led by Professor Ben Goldacre (of “Bad Science” fame). We built OpenSAFELY, a revolutionary open source platform for secure clinical research. Conceived at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, it is used to produce ground-breaking research using a huge corpus of patient data which is not available anywhere else in the world.
We’re hiring for software developers at all levels, as well as tech lead and product management roles.
Tools we use include Python (and Django), Javascript (and React), Docker, Postgres, SQLite and HTMX. Our entire platform is open-source:

Its use in MS involves injecting it into the muscle, whereas this trial was using nebulisers to deliver it directly to the lungs so I don't think looking at MS patients would tell us anything useful.

Interestingly it's even more subtle than this: you can be a US citizen, but if you haven't spent enough time living in the US (for a definition of "enough" when years spent as a child count for more) then your citizenship doesn't automatically pass on to your children.

Can you elaborate a bit more on this? Is it something specific to German law? A relative of mine who holds both US and UK citizenship worked for the US government and later for the UK government and was granted elevated security clearances in both roles.
