Finally, after having played all three games, I got to read the book that started it all. Of course, I had to read all of Geralt's lines in @dougcockle.bsky.social 's voice 🤌🏽 #TheLastWish #TheWitcher #book #gaming #AndrzejSapkowski

Read Žižek's 'Trouble in Paradise' (2014), and unfortunately, over a decade later, there's still trouble in paradise. #Zizek #SlavojZizek #philosophy #TroubleInParadise

Maybe this was done so that he could get a Nature publication 🤷🏽 But on a serious note: "[this] case reveals a fundamental weakness: these tools were not developed with academic standards of reliability and accountability in mind." 🧪 www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...

To explore the future, it's always worth contemplating what it will look like practically. This BBC article is a great example. I like how experts think digital twins will be used to explore how "different medications or lifestyle changes affect your unique biology". 🧪 www.bbc.com/news/article...

And so it begins, the genAI-fueled nightmare for patients

If AI glasses enhance healthcare accessibility, we may see a future where remote diagnostics and patient monitoring are the norm, transforming patient care. #futurism

I tend to merge my professional and personal interests in my writing; and this has never been more so than in my latest paper. In 'Healthcare and the Metaverse', I contemplate the delicate balancing act of the "metaverse" in reimagining or refragmenting care. 🧪 www.intechopen.com/online-first...

For a book that spun out of a pun about a Shan, Lord of Light is a pretty captivating one. Roger Zelazny crafts a unique world that draws from Hinduism. While not as extensive in world building as Dune, there are parallels in both of these science fiction epics. #LordOfLight #scifi

ECGs started as machines that weighed over 600 pounds & have now become as small as wrist-worn devices. We can expect it to evolve further to become smaller and smarter. My latest takes a pulse on the #ECG evolution timeline. 🧪 #healthcare #digitalhealth #future medicalfuturist.com/the-evolutio...

Finished @nealstephenson.bsky.social 's Polostan today. As usual, it's an insightful read (although shorter by the author's standard) and feels like it's setting the scene for the upcoming tomes in a planned series. Looking forward to where it takes Aurora & co.!
