We are very proud of our co-founder and Editor-in-Chief @robbieboyd_ who went undercover for @C4Dispatches to report on the current state of the NHS.

Confronted with the failures that are costing lives across the country, @robbieboyd_’s compassion and pragmatism shine through.

In the lead up to the UK election, I spent 2 months undercover working in A&E for @C4Dispatches and reported on the current state of the NHS. Watch here: https://t.co/LB8kmjNG5w

Variation, in-fighting or polarisation?

If the Labour Party win the UK General Election - could within-party polarisation be an obstactle to effective government?

@robbieboyd_ reports on a study into the new world of in-group political #polarisation

I interviewed @leedewit from @CambPsych about his new research which suggests #Corbyn and #Starmer supporters actually tend to prefer moderate Conservatives over each other. 1/

“Rafah 64 square km, which is around the size of an airport. To comprehend the true scale of Rafah is to understand the enormity of what is happening there; to know the desolation that would be caused by the 60 bombs that fell on the cramped area in just 48 hours.”

“Have boots on the ground been substituted by likes and reposts, or is the fear that no one goes to protests anymore just another moral panic? It’s irrefutably dire that our primary public squares for political discourse are now media platforms owned by tech billionaires”

The Monitor Magazine is CALLING FOR SUBMISSIONS for a new series about the intersection of technology and nightlife‼️‼️‼️

[The Monitor Magazine @themonitor_mag]

Think opportunities and perils of VR experiences, how social media has changed nightlife culture, what data is collected on you by venues and ticketing platforms, how music changed with the emergence of the internet…or, even better, surprise us.

Read @mha_Anderson article on wearable technology and endometriosis here:

[The Monitor Magazine @themonitor_mag]

Despite being as common as diabetes, #endometriosis is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. Many people wait nearly a decade to receive any formal diagnosis. But #wearabletechnology could signal a new era of endometriosis care.

[The Monitor Magazine @themonitor_mag]

This data can then be fed into algorithms which help healthcare professionals in diagnosing endometriosis, supporting patients self management strategies and better targeting of the condition

[The Monitor Magazine @themonitor_mag]

Watches or clip on technology allows patients to create their own “personalised pain scales” and to accurately track symptoms, without having to actively input data themselves

‼️ Another sadly telling work on Gaza tracks the destruction of life and all its infrastructures.
Make time to visit the platform this weekend- superb work by the Gaza team, with many student volunteers at AUB to counter genocidal erasure.

In a new gigabyte, Louie Lang dives into the rise of AI chatbots like @replika, marketed as "the AI companion who cares”.

Like other AI companions, Replika can provide its users with therapeutic support, friendship, and even engage in erotic roleplay.

Louie calls for greater transparency and ethical regulation in the complex landscape of AI companionship.

Honesty, clarity, and ethical considerations must be demanded to safeguard against potential harms. #ResponsibleAI 🔍
