Excellent commentary by @PennAnesthesia @CaoiDuffy & 🇮🇪 @Rose_Kearsley emphasizing the importance of a focus on patient-centered, ie. #MaternalHealth outcomes in #OBAnes research, and not only
neonatal-centered outcomes.

Too many mediocre men talk over capable women.

Study of problem-solving teams: Men dominate the conversation, taking 50% more turns and saying 69% more than women. Men with low skill speak more than women with high skill.

It's long past time to value competence over confidence.

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

A new study looked at how using AI assistants like ChatGPT for writing tasks impacts the brain & thinking skills. It focussed on students writing essays but the findings have implications for workplace leaders.
The researchers found that people who used AI used their brains less, created work that was “shallow” & “soulless”, remembered less & had less ownership of their work.
Starting a piece of work with AI created a “cognitive debt” – people get short term benefits like more efficient writing but pay a price in reduced creativity & a mental laziness that sticks around & makes it harder to think critically later on.
Even when peopled stopped using AI, their brain engagement stayed lower. People who started the work unaided by AI produced more original content with wider vocabulary & critical analysis. They retained stronger cognitive engagement even when later using AI.
Implications: actions for workforce development
1. Prioritise critical thinking & problem-solving training: ensure people regularly engage in tasks that require independent thought & reasoning without AI assistance.
2. Encourage hybrid workflows: human first, AI second.
3. Implement continuous upskilling & reskilling: as AI rapidly changes job requirements, ensure people stay adaptable, resilient & capable of meeting evolving demands.
4. Use AI judiciously & monitor cognitive impact: regularly assess how using AI affects people’s engagement, learning & critical thinking & adjust policies to avoid undermining core human skills.

Paying for seat selection to sit beside your child but @AerLingus failing to provide chosen seats, sitting child separately in less desirable seats& refusing to fix on multiple trips,asking customer to seek refund! Disappointing&questionable actions by @AerLingus @conor_pope

[AineDuffy @AineDuffy]

@AerLingus, this is unacceptable. On 2 out of 4 recent flights, my paid seat selections were not honored despite booking in advance to ensure I could sit next to my child. Instead, my child was placed about 30 rows behind me with no explanation!

[Caoimhe Duffy @CaoiDuffy]

@maffygirl @Anaes_Journal @ThomasGodetMD Never say never! There may be many worthwhile reasons why this approach is suitable in the correct environments, learning why it makes sense at a certain location is just as important as learning why it doesn’t work at another. We are dynamic speciality
