My wife's car tyre blew going over a patriotic pothole, so I have been taxi for the house this morning. We live in a Reform voting area. We have union flags on the local lampposts, and we routinely get fliers through the door about immigration. No one is maintaining the roads. #PatrioticPotHoles

What does acute COVID-19 and long COVID look like on medical imaging? radiologybusiness.com/topics/clini...

Trying to be better about stepping back from the daily political noise and paying attention to the bigger picture—literally.

Neurodiverse kids, LGBTQI+ kids, kids with disabilities, hell, even opinionated kids. I'd definitely have been thrown off the cliff, ditto many others I know. Proud to continue defying the figurative cliff. ✊️

🚨Our next study on the development of management reasoning is out 🚨 How do trainees reason through management decisions❓ What is the process❓ What are the key factors❓ What are the challenges❓ Here: doi.org/10.1111/medu.7…#PhDSkyk#MedSkyk#MedEdSkyk#ClinEdE#HPEP#MedEdEd @ukcreme.bsky.social

Excited to announce the publication of our new book! We hope this is a wonderful resource for clinicians and medical educators. AVAILABLE HERE: www.amazon.com/Clinical-Rea...

hey kind people- if you read my book & enjoyed it, I'd be grateful if you could recommend to a friend or colleague or even post a review online- it's a real passion project and just want people to read it and engage with the ideas

Congratulations to the Netherlands for showing authoritarianism the door! It can be done - Wilders' far-right party just lost 12 seats in their 150 seat House of Representatives, leaving them only 25. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/w...

Most doctors, most of the time, draw on their years (decades, in my case) of medical training & expertise to do the best we can for you. What distinguishes us from snake oil salesmen - persuasive grifters who prey on human fears to line their pockets - is our expertise & our integrity. Trust… 1/n

The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.

Wow. Check this out. Politicians actually trying to solve problems can achieve a lot! www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu...

Rossiter coined the term "Matilda effect" for when women's scientific work is attributed to men. It was a twist on the "Matthew effect," famously attributed to Robert Merton, but actually studied jointly by Merton and his wife Harriet Zuckerman, who was denied co-authorship

UCLA Health ended an NDM-1 Pseudomonas aeruginosa outbreak by tracing it to an ICU sink biofilm via whole-genome sequencing, then eliminating it with targeted disinfection, plumbing changes, and staff education—showcasing the power of diverse IPC measures. #AMR www.newswise.com/articles/the...

Masked ICE aren’t about safety; they’re about fear and evading responsibility. Demand transparency and accountability by adding your name to this petition:

There's research to suggest that just ONE consistently safe adult makes a huge difference to a kid's outcome. It doesn't have to be a parent or relative. It can be a teacher, a neighbour, someone else's parent, anyone. What matters is safety and consistency and here it is. Good on ya, bodega man. 🥹

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social, Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism. Looking forward to following you wherever you land, Your fan, Mar🐫

Wondering what the estimated 360,000 Americans in prison for drugs offences (over 75% Black or Latino) are thinking about how a ketamine-using White supremacist got so much power?

These figures should be heading the news every evening. Except, as we know, many lives of our fellow humans really don’t count (and go uncounted)

This looks so great: an evening with @liangrhea.bsky.social (social media medical royalty) hosted by @medicalwomenuk.bsky.social www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/an-evening...

Yes -- I can really see the similarities. Thank you for your reflections!

We argue: •Place-based solidarity helps us understand how a shared commitment to place can keep services running under austerity. •Place-based solidarity has tensions and limits. It is not currently a sustainable solution to the retreat of the state.

Happy 86th birthday to Sir Ian McKellen!

Do you work in EM, but are nervous about dealing with all this "Neurodiversity stuff". Don't worry, we're all a work in progress, the important thing is you're doing the work This day might help along that journey. rcem.ac.uk/events/chang...

“We’ve got to do the same for social media— it’s the equivalent of putting our kids in cars with no seat belts, with no air bags, and having them drive on roads with no speed limits and no traffic lights. And that is just morally unacceptable.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Congratulations to Dr Jacqueline Bello on receiving the Gold Medal of the The New York State Radiological Society, Inc today. A generous mentor, tireless advocate and luminary leader. Thank you Jackie for your friendship and guidance since the beginning of my career.

In a landmark public health achievement, Papua New Guinea has been validated by WHO for eliminating #trachoma as a public health problem.

Not for the first time this week I find myself asking what on earth is going through Keir Starmer’s mind? The best interpretation is that this crass decision was made without his knowledge and will soon be fixed.

Really good piece. Disputes about authorship, encouraged by a perverse promotion system that discourages collaboration, have done so much damage to academic endeavour. I’ve mentored lots of young people & seen how often they are exploited and bullied my egotistical seniors.

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges. When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.
