This new horizon of personalised medicine is very exciting! Of course, only if it has well-thought out regulations around consent and what is done with the bank of biodata it will generate. (You know there's always a 'but' with me!) www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Well this is problematic: I cannot locate the magnet that opens all our childproof cupboard locks. I suspect the magnet is in one of said cupboards. At least the cold meds are not. Tomorrow will be interesting...

He's fooling no one. I know that's not a real laptop. It's getting awkward with this research assistant now. I asked for a lit review of health policy and he played "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" instead. #FrenchieSky #Writing #AcademicSky

In my latest for @independentvoices.bsky.social I talk about the government's plans for chemical castration in prisons and why it's a (sorry I'm not sorry) limp dick of a policy. www.independent.co.uk/voices/alexi...

Excellent piece from @dralexispaton.bsky.social on both the moral and ethical problems with chemical castration (not to mention the fact that approaches like this fail to understand the underlying causes of GBV!!!).

"Without addressing the root cause of sexual violence, it is very likely that the violence will continue, only the nature of it will change." This is brilliant on sticking plaster misogyny "fixes" by @dralexispaton.bsky.social for @independentvoices.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/voices/alexi...

Excellent news. Fuel poverty is rising every year and it's impact on health is widespread, affecting both mental and physical health of those living in cold homes, stressing about fuel bills and hoping they can make ends meet each month.

I am no longer watching #Eurovision live after a brief intermission in which #SpawnOfPaton2 woke up to projectile vomit on me (and everything else in her room). No spoilers.

Well the first three #Eurovision songs do not disappoint. Wonderfully bonkers as usual.

Someone just pointed out to me that ChatGPT is "cat, I farted" in french, and as a french speaker who is deeply skeptical of AI, this warms my heart.

I am working on a chapter about the relationship between #politics and #health for my book right now. I am struck by this, written by the Pilgrims Trust in the 1930s, about poverty in Britain BEFORE the introduction of the welfare state. It is achingly familiar to anyone who studies health in 2025.

The black box imposed by industry around code and software for #healthcare #AI is one of my principal concerns with its use. We don't need to look far to find examples of how badly buying and using a product blind can be. Exhibit A: Horizon www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I've been advising on this project since the beginning and the findings have been nothing short of explosive. Well done to @gethrees.bsky.social and team for exposing the sorry state of #healthcare in #police #custody. In today's Independent: www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...
