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:

Conservative peer quits after Lords probe into PPE deals It comes after a Lords standards probe into his contacts with ministers and advisers during the pandemic.

The VIP lane was rotten to the core.
A national scandal.

Trump says Cuba will be attacked next

The Iran conflagration is costing taxpayers one billion dollars a day.

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? (!!!)

Why Sustainability in Health Care Cannot Be Implemented: From Implementation Failure to Ongoing Mediation Guest Talk by Prof Eivind Engebretsen Sustainability in health care is widely framed as a problem of implementation: policies are designed, evidence is assembled, and failure is diagnosed when action...

No but looks like they tested the female partners of pregnant women. I'm still unconvinced.

As the world hurtles towards geopolitical crisis, my marine biologist son sends photo of an underwater leaf slug from Fiji to wish us calm.

Ha, it's a non peer reviewed abstract!

I’m sure not. The embryo is tiny. It all looks like an artefact.
