I’m in the Guardian today, arguing that we should stop them all-class mental health lessons in schools I've thought very carefully about ‘going public’ with this, because it's a sensitive argument to make, especially in the face of so many young people struggling. (cont 🧵) tinyurl.com/vun92cz7

📣 New paper! We looked at how brain connectivity is assocaited with neuropsychiatric symptoms in prodromal #Parkinsons and #Lewybodydementias using our @newcastleuni.bsky.social #ICICLE, #SUPErB and #LewyPro studies. Follow the link below to find out more 👇 Funded by @lewybodysociety.bsky.social

I think we're overdue for a rollup of the best papers of the past year in NeuroAI. Candidates?

Fantastic to host today's @istaart.bsky.social #LBDPIA Clinical Case Review webinar, with presentations from Dra. Cecilia Fernández & Drs Agnew, Garcia & Barton from @belfasttrust.bsky.social. Tomorrow's webinar will discuss the same cases in Spanish - register here istaart.alz.org/events/item/...

I am traveling today and happen to be wearing a jacket with the logo of the health system I work for. Three people at the airport have wished me "happy nurses' day". I've replied, "Thank you, nurses are awesome, and I'm a doctor."😊 Be careful how you carry your bias, Black women can be doctors too 🤷🏽‍♀️

Despite increasing efforts to widen participation, only 5% of entrants to medical school in 2021 came from the lowest socioeconomic groups. Tackling persistent inequalities in access to medicine is critical to ensure that expansion delivers a diverse future workforce www.bmj.com/content/389/...

What symptoms do people tell their GP about when they are developing dementia? Lots of non-cognitive symptoms - and in a highly diverse population we can see that it is culturally influenced. Recognising this is key to equitable diagnosis alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Incredible! Deep Seek catches itself hallucinating and self-corrects. This may be one of the most extraordinary things about Deep Seek. There could be a way of eliminating hallucination completely.

We just published a paper on what the new NATIONAL DATA LIBRARY should look like. It's very readable! Lots on: accountability.. federated analytics.. code.. modular tools.. Thanks to @wellcometrust and @ESRC who ran a competition for these papers! zenodo.org/records/1467...

Had the pleasure of examining Katherine Walesby on her PhD today. Congratulations to her on phenomenal thesis on dementia epidemiology and working with datasets in both Scotland and New Zealand. Thoroughly well deserved.

🧪 Researchers showed small open LLMs like LLaMA 3.1 (8B) can match proprietary models in science tasks with scaffolding and test-time compute. This could democratize AI-driven science with lower costs and broad accessibility. 🩺💻

Attended the RAi UK Keystone Launch Event this morning—insightful talks on responsible socio-technical #AI development. Exciting projects ensuring AI is developed & deployed ethically and safely! #ResponsibleAI

Announcing a side-project that I have been working on for the past few months – introducing quokka, a free-to-use, in-browser app for qualitative coding. My goal was to make an app that was fairly intuitive and flexible so that it could fit most workflows. An app demo here: youtu.be/9jJK70W0hAI?...
