Excited to speak at Stanford’s RAISE Health Symposium tomorrow, hosted by @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social and @stanfordhai.bsky.social. I’m looking forward to a lively panel debating replacement, augmentation, deskilling, equity, access and much more. Hope you can join us: stan.md/raisehealth

In Health Affairs Scholar, Bob Kocher, Siobhan Nolan Mangini (both of Venrock) and I argue that – by scaling specialist-level knowledge – AI will create, in essence, the "generalist-specialist." We explore the far-reaching implications for healthcare. academic.oup.com/healthaffair...

Sharp piece from @marietjeschaake.bsky.social in FT on Trump as AI "regulator-in-chief," not a deregulator. The EU regulates using democratic process; the US under Trump shapes AI by executive fiat. As I've argued, this is not light-touch regulation, it's "hyper-regulation by other means."

This month's Geoffrey Hinton Prize for AI Punditry goes to a trio of health system CEOs who said they would be open to replacing their radiologists with AI – if the government allowed it. Congratulations to all, you've earned it! #radiology

Academic fields differ in their degree of consensus about what "better" publication venues are — here shown both for consensus about the "top 5" and for pairwise choices. Hello #econsky :) arxiv.org/abs/2603.00807 @jugander.bsky.social @danlarremore.bsky.social @aaronclauset.bsky.social

RSNA’s Board of Directors is looking for dedicated leaders ready to advance radiology. Open positions begin December 2026. Nominations are accepted until March 20, 5 p.m. CT. Encourage a colleague or submit your own nomination to help shape the future of the field: https://bit.ly/3UR8Pze

👇New biosketch requirement update. “After evaluating the number and types of recent technical inquiries we received to both the SciENcv and eRA Service Desks, we recognize the difficulties these issues have had on the community’s ability to comply with the original timeline of January 25, 2026.” 👇

Umar Mahmood, MD, PhD, has been named chair of the Stanford Medicine Department of Radiology. Dr. Mahmood is an internationally recognized clinician and researcher, specializing in molecular imaging. med.stanford.edu/radiology/ne...

Now for the money... Overall, the budget is essentially flat. The biggest winner is NINDS with a 5.9% increase. The biggest losers are NIEHS and NIDDK. 4/5

What is the feeling of discovery like, as a scientist? How is it unlike any other feeling a person can have? How uncommon is it? www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdHP...

In 2026, I am launching a vlog, For the Love of Science, about working aspects of being a scientist - the joys and challenges, the practical aspects and mental and emotional qualities it involves.

I've been thinking about the "virtual cell" concept and wanted to write up a few thoughts. Specifically on how I think the prior experience in GWAS informs the most likely way these models will be useful. andrewcarroll.github.io/2025/12/23/t...

🚨 Agentic Systems in Radiology Everyone’s talking about agents🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♂️ — but what happens when you bring them into real clinical workflows? Our new preprint explores the design, applications, challenges, and evaluation of LLM-based agents and agentic workflows in radiology 👇 arxiv.org/abs/2510.09404

Yes! A model trained with high quality healthcare data is usually better at a specific healthcare task than a general language model adapted to that task. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/o...

We're taking a big step towards medical superintelligence. AI models have aced multiple choice medical exams – but real patients don’t come with ABC answer options. Now MAI-DxO can solve some of the world’s toughest open-ended cases with higher accuracy and lower costs.

This research is just the first step on a long, exciting journey. We’re excited to keep testing and learning with our healthcare partners in pursuit of better, more accessible care for people everywhere. More on the blog today: microsoft.ai/new/the-path...
