What if our greatest struggle isn't uncertainty itself, but our relentless pursuit of certainty?

After two decades of research (and rather a lot of writing!), I'm thrilled to reveal the cover of The Power of Uncertainty.

Out Spring 2027 in the UK & US!

"Soldier" mindset is central to surviving medical education and ingrained in doctors

The toleration of #uncertainty @greyscalespaces and awareness of need for #calibration @HardeepSinghMD are limited

As are consequences of testing, like cascades @IshaniG https://t.co/buQnp5xB0S
