That's a great question, Maya - clearly misinformation is spreading faster today, but then so is the voice of those combatting it with truth and science. It seems we have access to more information than ever, so the need for vigilance is ever present.

"Publishers cannot fall back upon the convenient theory of irresponsibility as to advertisements... They are parties in the transaction & share the profits of this deception practised upon the ignorance... of the masses they profess to educate & protect."

One thing that struck me: doctors tackling #medical misinformation in popular media is nothing new!

Here's to all the healthcare professionals today who work tirelessly to combat #misinformation on #socialmedia.

The @roysocmed.bsky.social library is a nice spot in Central London to get some work done in between meetings. I could spend days here - today I enjoyed browsing a few ancient medical journals, with articles from more than 150 years ago describing the latest medical science in the 1800s.

Trump’s policies have US states eyeing offshore wind power from Canada His war on clean power is a “golden opportunity” for our neighbors to the north.

Can President Trump control the sourcing of US energy?

While President Trump’s actions hit approvals for new wind‑energy projects in the US, Canada is advancing plans for large offshore wind development designed to export clean electricity to US states.

Are we sacrificing human connection for digital efficiency?

That's the question I'll be asking in a special BHBIA #BHBIA2025 workshop in #London this afternoon.

Digital Opinion Leaders are human beings first, not just a data point.

See you in the workshop?

Fascinating post from @altmetric.com about how @bsky.app appears to have taken over from X for sharing of research.
This feels like a significant tipping point.

Reading what people on @bsky.app are saying about tonight's BBC documentary about #Twitter.
It was fun to reminisce about the good old days, which, according to the documentary, were not really as good old days as we like to remember.

Did you watch it? What did you think?

Packed and ready for tomorrow night's #CEOSleepOut Kent event where I'll be sleeping in the open air to raise awareness and funds for some great organisations working to alleviate #poverty and #homelessness.

#Liverpool is buzzing this morning! I'm in town for the Gymnastics British Championships and everyone is out enjoying the dockside, buskers everywhere are singing Beatles songs, and the sun is shining ☀️

Great piece from @creationdaniel.bsky.social in @pharmaphorum.bsky.social. I couldn't agree more; BlueSky - more particularly #MedSky and #PharmaSky - are the future. pharmaphorum.com/sales-market...

Thank you Greg! Exciting space to keep watching the healthcare conversation and community grow...

Love it! And your healthcare leadership online. I'd love to chat with you about a collaboration. Would you be open to a conversation?

It's a thoughtful piece that captured the moment.
I'd love to include you in my next podcast season later this year - it's about how social media is changing medical learning. It would be so good to learn from your experience on X + BlueSky.
Would you be open to hearing more?

Marking a Social Media Mass Migration -- Until the Next One Periodically my wife and I will have a bunch of trainees (medical students, or residents, or ID fellows, or a mix) over to dinner. Seated around a big table, with no time-crunch of rounds, pagers, or ...

If you're still wondering why so many healthcare professionals are making the move to @bsky.app, I enjoyed this piece by @paulsaxmd.bsky.social

@rory-stewart.bsky.social I realize I'm 20 years late to the Places In Between party, but the message seems as important as ever

...I finished the book with a sense of hope. But after reading both these @rory-stewart.bsky.social books together I'm left with a sense of despair about the workings of Western government

@rory-stewart.bsky.social writes with such empathy and courage about his experiences. I loved how his quick wit saved him from death at the hands of the Taliban

After my wife gave me a copy of @rory-stewart.bsky.social's Politics on the Edge, which I could not put down, I had to read more of Stewart's work.

I just read The Places In Between, while in Bermuda for a few days' rest... 🧵
