First day of classes at @jhuartssciences.bsky.social. A glorious day to learn #QuantumMechanics! I'm teaching two courses - QM for physics majors, and Philosophy of Cosmology for a general audience. I'm going to try to maintain a thread saying what happens in each class, let's see how I do.

The last talk on the second day of the #NaturalPhilosophy Symposium was Anil Seth @anilseth.bsky.social on Can AI Be Conscious? Commentary by E.J. Green. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzvs...

"Physics writes equations, humanities talk about emotions. But the world is one” says Carlo Rovelli. Sean Carroll's Bayesian approach relies on computer scientist and philosopher Judea Pearl's breakthrough that taught AI systems to distinguish correlation from causation. @seanmcarroll.bsky.social

JUST OUT! PhysioEthology: A posthuman perspective on physiotherapy www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... This paper discusses the mounting challenges facing the physiotherapy profession and possibilities that may open up in response #planetarycrisis

Join @mattlow.bsky.social (MACP Knowledge Translation Officer) in conversation with Paula Bright, as they reimagine musculoskeletal physiotherapy in a fantastic podcast available to all: www.macpweb.org/resources/13... Follow the link to find out more information about the podcast!

Guess what!? My biography of Henri Bergson will be available in paperback NEXT WEEK (June 19th)! John Banville called it "the most intellectually stimulating book I read this year" and the NYT called it "lively and deft". Get your copy here (or don't I'm not a cop): linktr.ee/eherring

Fascinating lecture by @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social on How digitalisation increases health inequalities. Introduced by @auhe-leeds.bsky.social 's own @katiespencer.bsky.social at Leeds Uni Med School. I suspect (hope) lots of research ideas and plans are being generated to build on this. Thank you 🙏

In this Circle U. Lecture, I explore how a translational medical humanities approach can bridge the gap between evidence and action, using SDGs as a key case study. More lectures in the series "Bridging Humanities and Medicine for Societal Impact" are coming! #AcademicSky youtu.be/Ka43MVWpMLk?...

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

Really good short video about what it's like to live with diabetes. GOOD TEACHING MATERIAL! Thanks @nadiaswann.bsky.social for finding. 🧪 #medsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ09...

The conference was part of a project under the same name, by Karin Tybjerg and Sarah Yvonnet. Yvonnet wrote a blogpost on the overall idea ~ looking at diagnostic complexity by tracing how diabetes classification travels between lab and clinic: www.museion.ku.dk/blog/between... #philbio #philsci

We wrote a paper about how to support early-career researchers to learn the 'rules of the game' in academia. This one's about social scientists learning to play a double game when they work in medical faculties. journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....
