Clinical trials without humans - the next AI advance? One evening this week I was just getting off a train when my phone rang.

open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... Just after learning I’d been accepted onto a major Parkinson’s drug trial I learned at a fascinating Cambridge conference that AI could one day replace humans in clinical trials

#SophiefromRomania always thinks it’s a good idea to position herself in the kitchen while the prof and I prepare breakfast - despite the fact that her bowl is already full of delicacies which she ignores

A glorious morning out there but #sophiefromromania is not to be distracted from her rubbish inspection duties

#Sophiefromromania was quite frisky on her play date with Juno this morning. Perhaps she knows the prof is flying home today.

With the prof away #sophiefromromania was a bit nervous about the Sunday trip to the park. But she got over it and had a decent walk in the end

Out at 6:50 with #sophiefromromania as without the Prof we had a vast amount to do if I was to get to the #BrentfordFC game. At halftime wishing I’d had lie-in

The Wall Street Journal may be a Murdoch paper but it’s providing C the only effective media opposition to Trump at the moment

Had to keep a good distance between #sophiefromromania and other dogs this morning after a little over exuberance

A stunning day but I think the UK can be a bit proud of itself tonight - we’ve shown that nobody is above the law (USA look and learn though it may be too late - your justice system is in the hands of your mad King)

#Sophiefromromania has a busy morning schedule. 0700 out of bed, a few stretches, harness on.
0705 Out for walk with occasional barking at other dogs “come over ‘ere if you think you’re. ‘ard enough”

0745 after disdainful sniff at luxury breakfast, back to bed

Come on #sophiefromromania - the prof is away proffing in California so we’ve got to show we can cope without her. Sourdough for breakfast?

A perky #sophiefromromania took us up to the scary main road this morning - perhaps she was after the cheeky cat that ran away earlier

#SophiefromRomania was overcome with excitement when our friends came round, especially when intellectual debate turned to the question of whether Spurs might get relegated

It’s a grim old morning out there but apart from a minor fandango with another dog #sophiefromromania was on excellent form while the Prof was sporting her #traitors look - then home to a #bigbreakfast

You’ve got to hand it to Trump, he has a gift for gathering all the worst people in the world in his cabinet. It’s going to be a new Marvel movie, A***holes Assemble!
