Great to hear that you enjoyed it, and your story. Sorry you missed Jim!

James Lovell & NASA’s Apollo 13 team: a masterclass in bearing the odds. I always try to bring the best lessons I learn back to my career in medicine. Wrote the last lines of script for #13minutestothemoon S2 in Spring 2020, after the UK’s 1st Covid wave. A kernel of hope. Thank you Jim. #AdAstra

Farewell & thanks for everything Captain James Lovell. Apollo 8 Command Module Pilot - arguably NASA’s boldest mission - Commander & survivor of the ill fated Apollo 13. I’ve met few people more inspiring or more generous with their legacy. God Speed, safe flight. #AdAstra #NASA

Stop this. Just… Stop it. Stop using "generative AI" for anything that might actually matter, and especially things that, if it gets them wrong, *Might Fucking Kill You.*

Why does this need to be said? Why is this not obvious??? Why is this not the default way of fucking operating?! What the FUCK.

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

What a moment! What an achievement. Wonderful way to watch them bring it home. Chloe Kelly & the indomitable #Lionesses #England #LatitudeFestival

Massive congratulations on this Mark!

50 years have passed since “Jaws” the movie was first released. Which scares me way more than any giant shark ever could.

East Croydon, right?

On the complexities of Covid. And why there’s more to it than whether lockdowns were bad or good. Really great piece from @adamjkucharski.bsky.social

The Artificial Human - Is China getting AI right? - BBC Sounds Aleks and Kevin ask whose AI development ideology will win: China or the US?

Is China getting AI right? Been a couple of months since the cheaper, leaner LLM Deepseek rocked the AI world. How? What does it mean for Silicon Valley’s closed “all you need is scale” approach. And who will win the title fight? #ArtificialHuman www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

The Artificial Human - What Do I Do if AI Gets Me Wrong? - BBC Sounds What can you do if an AI is making stuff up about you? Aleks and Kevin find out.

These days AI knows & says lots of things about us. But what do you do if it accuses you of murder? And not just *any* murder … join me & @alekskrotoski.bsky.social to find out.

Wow. Looks very satisfying. Was on a coral conservation expedition in Fiji way back; remember seeing Crown of Thorns everywhere. Nasty buggers.

Yes. SJT had its own cruel and unusual flaws.

Medical Students’ Insight into Foundation Training (MEDSIFT): a National Cross-Sectional Online Survey reveals close to 50% are considering a career outside the NHS

The medical students I teach hate the way they’re allocated to their 1st job after graduation: it’s a kind of lottery system. This study shows just how much they dislike it & how much damage it does to the way they view their future career. Hope someone’s listening.
