@hcittoday @thegr8chalupa There’s a really interesting study from @YiqunChen3 that shows having a doctor in the family improves physical health and prolongs life (controlling for the obvious confounders). It makes you wonder about the flipside- those who don’t have access to that health literacy #HITsm

T2: Was there ever a time where you or someone close to you DIDN’T have the support needed to heal? What happened and what was the outcome? #HITsm @thegr8chalupa

@hcittoday @thegr8chalupa Not personal, but we often hear that being surround by family helped patients recover. It’s a plus for hospital at home, but also makes us concerned about burdening carers with expectation. Our hope is that remote patient monitoring and telehealth can help shoulder some of this.

Thanks to everyone involved in this project. These small, incremental, ergonomic changes will make our sport safer when it matters most. For those who’ve not seen- video results here: youtu.be/IlJMTXMcn5w @ExtEnvLab_UoP @UoPSportScience

So proud of everyone involved in this work. What can we learn from 140+ #paraglider #pilots deploying their reserve parachutes at up to 4 G? Watch and find out! #safety #aviation #parapente #freeflight #gforce youtube.com/watch?v=IlJMTX…

Delighted to be on @cloudbasemayhem this week to discuss our paragliding safety research. We talk accident stats, hypoxia, cold, reserve deployment and Mont Blanc. The research has been a huge team effort, thanks so much to everyone involved so far. cloudbasemayhem.com/episode-127-hy…

Huge thanks to my coauthors Becky Charles, @ProfMikeTipton, @EglinClare, @H_Massey1979 and @bigtriphippy and TVHCG for their amazing work in getting this study done and published. Flying will be safer as a result. doi.org/10.1016/j.aper… #aviation #aviationsafety #paragliding

Delighted to have taken part in this @physoc webinar with @JoeCostelloPhD, @ProfMikeTipton and Carolyn Greig on #cognition in #extreme #environments. Free recording is now available here: youtube.com/watch?v=i3s6lI… @ExtEnvLab_UoP @UoPSportScience

@H_Massey1979 @JoeCostelloPhD @physoc @ProfMikeTipton Thanks so much Heather!

Great talks from @JoeCostelloPhD and Dr Matt Wilkes @freeflightphys as part of the @physoc scientific theme webinars. Thank you for setting up the webinar @ProfMikeTipton and Carolyn Grieg.

Looking forward to @physoc webinar tomorrow featuring @ProfMikeTipton @JoeCostelloPhD and @freeflightphys The Impact of the Physiological Responses to Extreme Environments on Cognitive Function 15:00-16:00 BST - 27th Aug 2020 Free to register: shorturl.at/qwAJ6

@EE_McL @riecriticalcare @ChocTree You’d have loved it Maccers. Their milk choc was the winner for me...!

@freeflightphys @riecriticalcare @ChocTree Ahem....and *why* am I not there to join in with the eating?!?!

Enormous thanks to @ChocTree Edinburgh for donating kilos of their incredible chocolate to the Critical Care Unit at the Royal Infirmary. Surely the ultimate morale booster for a weekend on call?! @riecriticalcare #chocolate #nhs

Strong research needs to be built with good tools. Congrats to James Moore for demonstrating that fatigue, like sleep, may lead to misdiagnosis of AMS using the LLS. @MartinMacInnis @itravelhealth #lakelouisescore #altitude #highaltitude doi.org/10.1089/ham.20…

Inspired by this paper in @FrontNeurosci: the authors used fNIRS in a #flightsim and then repeated the same tasks in real flight. The differences underlined the need for ecologically valid experiments in #aviationmedicine @Aero_Med frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

@Bonposselt @_TheSpaceDoc @spaceman_pete @astro_perform @Bethahealey @RocketDocs Someday, a whole bunch of good looking people are going to say they’ve met @Bonposselt @spaceman_pete @_TheSpaceDoc @astro_perform and @Bethahealey with an equal amount of glee.

#AsMA2018 Highlight of the week: listening to & meeting Dr Chiaki Mukai (JAXA shuttle Astronaut), Dr David Wolf (NASA Mir astronaut), Jack Lousma (NASA Skylab Astronaut) & Dr Charles Berry (Apollo 13 NASA Flt surgeon) Incredible stories from all!

Just landed in #Houston (no problems thus far). Time to brush up on my #spacemedicine courtesy of this great article by @spaceman_pete @Bonposselt @_TheSpaceDoc and @Kevin_Fong before visiting @NASA_Johnson - the kind of @BJAJournals #anesthesiacpd I enjoy. twitter.com/bonposselt/sta…

@astro_perform @Aero_Med @spaceman_pete @Bethahealey @Bonposselt @AerospaceDr It was a hoot! Thanks so much one and all.

A suitably worthy last night in Dallas, with fantastic company! Thank you @Aero_Med #ASMA2018, you’ve been incredible. @freeflightphys @spaceman_pete @Bethahealey @Bonposselt @AerospaceDr

So proud of my friend and research chum Helen McKenna @MitoExplorer, putting chronobiology into practice in #criticalcare. Have you got your #chronobundle...? rdcu.be/N3xs @ICS_updates @I_C_N @CASE_Medicine @RichardWiseman @sleepdiplomat #circadian

Checklists don’t have to be lists: excellent presentation from @NASAAmes group using eye tracking to compare Linear vs. Topic Blocks vs. Topic Blocks with Treatment designs. Room for a redesign @AAGBI @dasairway @RCoANews? #AsMA2018 #humanfactors @humanfactors #checklists

@Burgate @Aero_Med @Bonposselt @Bethahealey @spaceman_pete @ProfMikeTipton Thanks so much Colin. Hope all well with you?

@freeflightphys @Aero_Med @Bonposselt @Bethahealey @spaceman_pete @ProfMikeTipton Congratulations, awesome to see you follow your passion. Your support on Kili in ‘13 was invaluable.

Huge honour to receive an @Aero_Med International Scholarship alongside AvMed stars @Bonposselt and @Bethahealey. Entirely due to the incredible mentoring of @spaceman_pete and @ProfMikeTipton. Two days into the meeting and my head is already bursting with new ideas! #AsMA2018
