@arturo_zinga @Ogaheskey @ihyi_j @Lordgomz @_DrScope @SaadyeAli @Udu_ako_mmiri @Eje0lomoSkeendy You could try to get a hold of Prof Thakar, who was the RCOGUK president at the time of this House of Lords report and was quoted in a BMJ article at the time. If she isn’t available, she may signpost you to someone who may be.

Me 🤝 sobbing at every video I see of the Artemis II crew coming home

This entire mission was such a breath of fresh air! With everything happening on earth, humanity can unite and be proud that we did that 🥹

In my lifetime, we are about to orbit the moon, 250,000 miles away on Artemis II going at about 20,000 miles per hour. Amazing!

Kudos to all the teams who have made this work under what can only be immense pressure!

The new Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine (11th Ed) officially recognizes Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh. 🇳🇬

She is the hero who stood her ground against Ebola to save a nation of 200 million.

Seeing her name in these pages is a win for every Nigerian health worker.

Words matter.

The aim of the legislation for UK Graduate Prioritisation is to reduce competition ratios.

When public commentary fuels division, it harms the very workforce our health system relies on.

Skill, professionalism and patient care - not nationality or place of qualification - are what make a great doctor.

Respect should never be optional. We expect more from our politicians.

GPs and GP Registrars in England! There's just 24 HOURS to vote in our referendum on the GP contract. If you haven't voted already, then don't delay.

GPs have until March 25th to vote in the BMA referendum on the imposed contract. If you're not a member, join by March 19th. Check emails from [email protected] or contact [email protected]. This vote matters. #GPcontract #BMA

What appears to be a very silent consultation has been opened into the use of cross-sex hormones in children, for which there is limited evidence.

Had the privilege of presenting my research into the experiences of IMG GP Registrars with the final GP exam at the BJGP.

IMGs make up around 50% of GP Registrars, its only right their experiences are duly represented in literature so that policy can change where needed.

🧵A Monday in general practice. Real numbers from one small rural GP surgery in Surrey. 1,102 clinical tasks. 24 staff. One day.

I can't express to the general public and others how much clinical work gets done on a day to day basis in GP land. Vast majority without a patient being in the room.

@arturo_zinga @ihyi_j @Lordgomz There’s also additional conversations about the qualification period of NHS work prior to being able to apply to formal training being 5 years, a number that seems to be a bit arbitrary.

Sharing this for whoever needs it:
your breakthrough might be one bold ask away.
I once sent a handwritten letter to Nigeria’s former Minister of Foreign Affairs, asking if he’d recommend me for a role at WIPO. I didn’t know him I just went with my gut. This was his reply✨

The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet.

1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them through a $6 million electron microscope, then needed Google’s ML models to stitch the 3D reconstruction because no human team could process the output.

The result: 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, compressed into 1.4 petabytes of raw data. For context, 1.4 petabytes is roughly 1.4 million gigabytes. From a speck smaller than a grain of rice.

Now scale that. The full human brain is one million times larger. Mapping the whole thing at this resolution would produce approximately 1.4 zettabytes of data. That’s roughly equal to all the data generated on Earth in a single year. The storage alone would cost an estimated $50 billion and require a 140-acre data center, which would make it the largest on the planet.

And they found things textbooks don’t contain. One neuron had over 5,000 connection points. Some axons had coiled themselves into tight whorls for completely unknown reasons. Pairs of cell clusters grew in mirror images of each other. Jeff Lichtman, the Harvard lead, said there’s “a chasm between what we already know and what we need to know.”

This is why the next step isn’t a human brain. It’s a mouse hippocampus, 10 cubic millimeters, over the next five years. Because even a mouse brain is 1,000x larger than what they just mapped, and the full mouse connectome is the proof of concept before anyone attempts the human one.

We’re building AI systems that loosely mimic neural networks while still unable to fully read the wiring diagram of a single cubic millimeter of the thing we’re trying to imitate. The original is 1.4 petabytes per millionth of its volume. Every AI model on Earth fits in a fraction of that.

The brain runs on 20 watts and fits in your skull. The data center required to merely describe one-millionth of it would span 140 acres.

Major cheat code for life: Increase your recovery speed. You will get rejected. You will lose money. You will embarrass yourself. The goal isn't to avoid the fall. It's to shorten the time between the fall and the reset. Fast recovery compounds.
