The missing voice in the debate over Jeffrey Epstein's death is found in the Epstein files The Epstein files include a never-before-seen interview with the doctor who conducted the autopsy on Jeffrey Epstein.

1/ After examining Epstein's corpse, Baden was convinced he died by homicide.

Baden said he has never seen 3 fractures in a suicidal hanging as a medical examiner for 25 yrs, nor while serving for decades as NY state commission that oversees prison deaths.

A little shameless self promotion here.
Was honoured to be asked to write the environmental health chapter for the MedSci 101 textbook Core Concepts in Health (5th Ed).
It came out last week.
Definitely a stretch for me, something I've never done.

Would have loved to come but will have to wait for the link to the recording!

The promise and pitfalls of AI in health | LSHTM There has been considerable hype about the transformative potential of AI across many domains of society. Hetan will consider the promise and pitfalls of AI in health, and how we should think about

Tomorrow I'll be giving the inaugural Nick Black Annual Health Services Research Lecture, taking a look at what AI in health might mean and how we can deal with some of the potential pitfalls. It is at 5.30pm at LSHTM and all are welcome - no registration required

'Nobody Could Have Seen This Coming,' Says Blindfolded Administration The Trump administration can't foresee straight.

All wars create unexpected second and third-order effects. One of the appalling things about the Trump administration is that they don’t seem to have thought through the expected effects either. open.substack.com/pub/danieldr...

Is there a support group for academics who are at the bottom of the learning curve for AntiGravity? Asking for a friend. #academicsky

I've always fancied myself as a non-sectarian Thought for the Day speaker. Decades ago I got into correspondence with Rabbi Lionel Blue and he agreed we should have some non-religious 'thoughts' in that slot.

A good day to give thanks for fire and rescue personnel in Glasgow, and around the world

“human-derived mathematical proofs have always been [to some extent] social constructs — about convincing other people in the field that the arguments are right”

Fab Substack on AI ‘proofs’ from @kityates.bsky.social

‘Spread’ seems like a good word

Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei
• More hardline than father
• He’s the IRGC candidate
• Relatively young: 56
• Avoids public
• Trusted by father, clerics
• Was in military during Iraq-Iran war
• His wife, Zahra, killed in Israeli airstrike w his father

Though I do always turn off the recorder at the end and ask them if there’s anything else they want to share! Can often charm them into letting me turn it on again and them saying the gem again

Stephen Fry: “I’m deeply worried by the darkening shadow that’s going over the world, a shadow that we have to call fascism”

Laura Kuenssberg: “You would use that word?”

Stephen Fry: “Oh absolutely. It’s a cult of power; and power only speaks to power”

Someone had to make all the Epstein documents actually searchable.

So I did.

My response to those who view AI in qualitative research in polarised terms.
I argue for the AI enthusiasts and the conscientious objectors to meet in the middle and deliberate.

"He seems to have had no idea that the Gulf would be a target. … He professed that Iran’s attacks on American allies were 'probably the biggest surprise'—despite the fact that just about every country in the region had warned that Iran would surely attack them in retaliation."

No.

Dr Abell at the podium alongside a slide with the titled 'A science informed practice' and a picture of Trish Greenhalgh next to the quote "There is no tooth fairy. Nor is there any formal framework or model or checklist of things to do (or questions to ask) that will take you systematically through everything you need to do to 'implement' a particular piece of evidence in a particular setting"

A slide titled 'A cautionary tale: lgnaz Semmelweis (1818-1865)' and the wording WHAT intervention or innovation x HOW Implementation strategies x Effective implementation x Enabling context =OUTCOMES Semmelweis didn't consider the how-how to get people on board how to change their behaviour, how to address their scepticism Semmelweis didn't consider the context -how he could have understood and address the prevailing barriers Barrier Implementation Science Strategy Doctors didn't believe in handwashing Use behavior change models (e g COM B) to target beliefs and norms No leadership support Engage hospital leaders as champions No policy reinforcement Mandate hand hygiene via hospital regulations Resistance to new practice Use audit & feedback to show improved outcomes Lack of training Build handwashing into medical education Don't be like Semmelweis!

@drbridgetabell.bsky.social citing @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social in her address at #SPICA26 about implementation science! And using Semmelweiss as the cautionary tale of how *not* to implement healthcare change. Semmelweiss used to write angry letters to colleagues accusing them of being murderers. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

A national scandal.

Is this helping the American people?

Cruel.

BREAKING:

The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.

They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.

Measles meets ICE detention. What could possibly go wrong?

Aaah. I thought it was just me!

I aspire to exude as much confidence as this little Kinesin protein strutting along a microtubule while hauling intracellular cargo.

Look at that little guy go! 🔬🧪

VERY BAD

wait, so if they don't collect the data on measles cases, they keep their elimination status? (!!!)
