Scientists, given more time and flexibility, often stumble upon unexpected discoveries—like Alexander Fleming, who saw a mould had killed the bacteria he was growing, paving the way for antibiotics.

Cyclists! Please check the safety rating of your helmet on the Hiper website (www.hiperhelmets.org). Study found "no link between the price of a helmet and the level of safety it provides". (Mine aren't doing very well...) www.imperial.ac.uk/news/256314/...

Predicting survival is fraught with uncertainty. This may not weigh much against giving patients choice but it is an interesting problem for those studying forecasting and preference elicitation. Does anyone know which 2023 study she is referring to (para 7)? www.ft.com/content/241a... via @ft

Is there a way to ‘pin’ or ‘bookmark’ posts, so that I can come back to them on a later date?

Kicking off my Bluesky account by reflecting on the incredible Society for Medical Decision Making Annual Meeting in Boston last October #SMDM24. A perfect mix of exciting science, inspiring colleagues, and a great city! :) @olgakos.bsky.social @nataliakunst.bsky.social

FOMO and last minute change of mind - it looks like I'm going to New York after all (sjdm.org/programs/202...)! I wonder if I can re-instate the poster I withdrew only last week. I may study decision making but I'm rubbish at making decisions (and sticking to them).
