Really interesting read. It's common sense but at the non standardised rate of AI implementation in fragmented silos. How do move to implement a common governance model and utilise sensible ai tools tp supercharge ph sooner rather than later?

Yes it was brilliant 👏 relevant, interactive and informative!

Last week was a week of two conferences, which doesn't often happen!

From the @metoffice.gov.uk to @rcgp.bsky.social for the RCGP 2025 conference

My favourite workshop was the interactive climate and health workshop at #rcgpac25 and I now have more books to add to my evergrowing reading list!

Which team were you? Was it the air pollution one?

Look forward to your presentation tomorrow!

I'm with team #BioVoyager @metoffice.gov.uk at the #nasa space apps hackathon exploring how to develop an AI solution to develop a Bio Knowledge engine

Fly with us through space! 🧑🚀

Destination: the Sculptor Galaxy, 11 million light-years away

Recently, the MUSE instrument on our Very Large Telescope captured an image of this galaxy containing thousands of colours. 🔭 🧪

Earth observation in conjunction with ground data helping shape our population health direction. An exciting time to be in this research space @ukspaceagency.bsky.social

This is just one example as to why space based solutions are very much important and pivotal for terrestrial medicine.

Such an important topic and a wonderful report. How environmental data derived from sattelites and ground stations can really inform our descision making as clinicians #space4health

The new report from @rcpch.bsky.social explores innovative clinical responses to environmental #healthinequalities.

We’re urging the UK government to recognise air pollution as a public health issue and take urgent action to reduce preventable deaths and improve population health: ow.ly/w4e650Wg06z

UK air pollution killing more than 500 people a week, doctors say Royal College of Physicians also says poor air quality costs country more than £500m a week

“We wouldn’t accept 30,000 preventable deaths from any other cause. We need to treat clean air with the same seriousness we treat clean water or safe food. It is a basic human right – and a vital investment in our economic future.” Dr Mumtaz Patel, RCP president www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Heartbreaking to see the news of the Air India 🇮🇳 plane crash. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends affected 🙏

Thanks to the team at Austrian Space Forum for organising it!

Such a joy to see how teams took those insights and ran with them. Huge congratulations to the top team for developing a tool that harnesses Earth Observation (EO) data for malaria detection. Super inspiring to see space tech being applied to global health in such a creative and meaningful way!

Loved being part of the lecture series in the lead-up to the Cassini Euro Hackathon last week—especially as an SME on pandemic preparedness and PH. 🌍🧬
