Nothing like the pilot saying “obviously it’s very lovely here, but I hope you have your umbrellas and raincoats ready for when we land” for confirming you’re on the flight home 🇬🇧

Pinky: So Brain, what did you get up to today? Brain: Well Pinky, I tried to take over the world, but then I got hyperfixated on how to use structural equation modelling for system design for 15 straight hours, forgot to eat, and collapsed exhausted at midnight. Pinky: same again tomorrow?

Running dangerously low on Yorkshire Tea. Active rationing is occurring. Fortunately, a reconnaissance mission to England is planned for next week. Otherwise: digital ethics, analogue anarchy.

🎙️ New pod! The Aural Apothecary with Steve, Jamie & Paul talking AI, ethics, & NHS values, inc: – Why AI hype misses the point – AI as infrastructure – Why regs can’t wait My picks for anthem, book & medicine: 🎶 Long Live – Taylor Swift 📚 Venkatapuram, Health Justice 💊 Sertraline + Propranolol

It is almost the last Friday of the Month - which means the release of our latest episode! This month we discuss AI in Healthcare - can it really save the NHS? As a teaser, check out our special guest @jessrmorley.bsky.social in the Briefing Room www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Turns out that you can, in fact, first do things bigger in life than dating the boy on the football team AND then marry the man on the pro football team

Sam Altman keeps saying the quiet part out loud - valuations are too high, there's no biz model w/copyright, there's not enough electricity, LLMs aren't the path to AGI - yet govts and AI cheerleaders seemingly bend over backwards to ignore that fortune.com/2025/08/20/u...

Do I need to spend all day working on fellowship applications? Yes. Will that be made infinitely harder by the fact that I have Swiftlag from staying up all night for #TS12 announcements? Also yes. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

This August is less salt air, rusted doors, meet me behind the mall, and more why do you write like you’re running out of time …

The relief of finally finishing a paper that has been stuck in my brain, like a very annoying thorn in my side/ stone in my shoe, for MONTHS really knows no bounds. Time for some fiction and Ice Cream.

Tell me how I am supposed to cure myself of just-returned homesickness by dancing around to too loud music when it’s 33 degrees INSIDE even with the A/C on ?!?!? 😭😭😭😭

Had an absolutely ace time at home indulging in fun, family, and NHS activities up and down the country. Now back to @yaledec.bsky.social for more adventures with @floridi.bsky.social @claudionovelli.bsky.social @emmiehine.com

Back home in England and found these gems in the primary school archive. Turns out there’s not much difference between 9/10-year-old me and now—except the only theatre I ended up in is a lecture theatre.

Next time tech-determinists inaccurately accuse me of being tech phobic, imma show them this …

Alright Digital Health Summer Schools, let’s do this

"AI won't save healthcare on its own" is my current mantra. I explain why in this interview with Artur Olesch conducted after HIMSS in Paris last month: aboutdigitalhealth.com/2025/07/16/a...

Nobody talk to me for the next two hours. I am reading and digesting. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/686638...

Oh, I'm already mad at the press release. This does not bode well. WTAF: “AI scribes will end the need for clinical notetaking, letter drafting, & manual data entry to free up clinicians’ time. Saving 90 seconds each GP appointment can save the same time as adding 2,000 more doctors”

How can you use AI to analyse a text? "Red Reading the Text: On How to Red Team Texts Using LLMs" OA: papers.ssrn.com/sol3... A companion of: "Distant Writing: Literary Production in the Age of Artificial Intelligence" OA: papers.ssrn.com/sol3... Published: link.springer.com/ar...

Preparations for returning home for 3 weeks of NHS summer schools, workshops, debates, and more have begun!

⚖️ Can a digital NHS be equitable? In our @bmj.com editorial @jessrmorley.bsky.social @eleanorbarry.bsky.social & I argue that while AI in healthcare promises transformation, it rests on three flawed assumptions that risk worsening inequalities 👇 www.bmj.com/content/389/... (1/5)

⏰ New BMJ Editorial ⏰ from me, Drs Lucinda Hiam & Eleanor Barry bmj.com/cgi/content/... Ahead of the NHS 10-yr plan, we ask what a digital first strategy means for the NHS's commitment to "being for everyone," highlighting: 1. Digital Exclusion 2. Entrenched bias 3. Austerity & the SDoH

I am currently thinking, writing, and talking a lot (probs an annoying amount) about the limitations of focusing all of AI's attention on personalised medicine. It is, therefore, really very annoying that I cannot for the life of me *ever* type the word "individual" correctly the first time round.

PSA for folk at airports if you MUST use biometric boarding, at least make it worth it by ensuring it’s faster and more efficient - not creepy, slow and significantly less efficient … cos standing in a boarding queue for >90mins at 1am is *NOT IT*

Fun interview with @digitalhealth2.bsky.social - why I want us to stop solely focusing AI on P4 medicine, the harmful myth that you can't have both public good & privacy protection, & the need for greater control of ambient voice tech www.digitalhealth.net/2025/06/morl... See you at summer schools!

Taylor Swift announced on Friday that she had bought back the rights to her first six albums. Swift said that her record-breaking Eras Tour helped make her acquisition of the masters. She did not disclose the price. nyti.ms/3FgfXzZ

Just about 3 weeks until HIMSS Europe in Paris. Ahead of flying over, and representing @yaledec.bsky.social University, I spoke to HIMSS TV about the link between poor quality data and poor quality care. You can watch the ten-minute Q&A below: himsstv.brightcovegallery.com/detail/video...

Today is international tea day, if all I manage to achieve as a Postdoc at the @yaledec.bsky.social is teaching my colleagues how to tell the difference between Yorkshire tea & other inferior brands, I will be happy.

Graduation weekend is fun, because the whole of Yale campus is decorated and everyone is in a great mood. It’s less fun that campus is also full of families and so I am now *intensely* homesick. Taking refuge in writing and Taylor.

Me when I'm acting as AE: why is it so hard to get good people to accept peer review requests. Me when I get a review of my own paper: under which rock was this reviewer unearthed & can we put them back please. Me when I receive 5 peer review requests in 1 morning: PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE.

We had a great time at the Yale AI Symposium! Our team shared ongoing research and gave out DEC tote bags soon to be seen all over campus 👀 Thanks to everyone who stopped by! #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AIethics #Yale @jessrmorley.bsky.social @claudionovelli.bsky.social @emmiehine.com

Spending the day at the AI at Yale Symposium presenting our @yaledec.bsky.social research. We’ve got posters on AI in global Health, virtual reality, & AI regulation under the administration. We’ve also DEC stash, chocolate, and - inexplicably - a pterodactyl skeleton as a backdrop: AI 🤝Dinosaurs.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

I’m giving the Edith Pechey lecture in Leeds tomorrow (6th May) at 5.30 pm UK time on how digitalisation increases health inequities. Join in person (from 4.30 for drinks) or online from 5.30). medicinehealth.leeds.ac.uk/medicine/eve... medicinehealth.leeds.ac.uk/faculty-/eve...

Thousands show solidarity at #TransRightsAreHumanRights Demo in Parliament Square.

The thing about bank holidays & long weekends when you live alone very far from home, is that they mostly involve more uninterrupted writing and tea-drinking time.

Our new paper!! Led by @drpauldijkstra.bsky.social with @jessrmorley.bsky.social and awesome medical student Yosra Mekki. #digitalhealth #medsky #episky How to Read a Paper Involving AI. bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/4/1/...

Back in 🇺🇸 post #Rewired25 and Oxford collaborator catch-ups. ‘Twas my birthday yday whilst home & other than Taylor Swift merch my family almost exclusively gifted me British food. So my suitcase is full of crumpets, Yorkshire tea, werthers, & digestive biscuits.

Roses are red Violets are blue

AI for population health not (just) individual health, and friendship bracelets for everyone. Thanks #ReWired25 and thanks @rachelcoldicutt.bsky.social / Careful Industries for the world’s most perfect t-shirt.

Alright #Rewired25 let’s do this
