Clip from my conversation on #AI + docs on @CNN Morning Show with @AudieCornish today. A timely conversation about patient trust + #DrBot. Grateful to have this opportunity... need more of these conversations📖 #AI #Healthcare #PatientCare #Trust #DrBot #CNN #FutureOfMedicine

Real honour to kick off Dagens Medisin's event in Stockholm this morning with an AI in healthcare keynote. Also huge thanks to Sara Riggare and Helena Conning for the lively discussion - check out their patient-focused podcast lnkd.in/eSfM-P3k

Massive new replication study: Only 55% of 274 social-science findings successfully replicated. Education was in first place, economics last, and psychology somewhere in between. [Link below.]

One of my favorites paper got published 🥳 It covers a lot of ground and it’s the best summary of my views on misinformation and what to do about it. Give it a read :)

This week I had the extraordinary opportunity to spend a full hour with Micheál Martin (@MichealMartinTD), Ireland’s @Taoiseach (Prime Minister), discussing AI, the future of healthcare, and Ireland’s role, especially as it relates to the evolving role of health professionals. What struck me most was something surprisingly rare: leadership grounded in genuine inquiry. Here was a leader who asked questions, challenged ideas, and - perhaps most importantly - listened. Not once was I interrupted. As Ireland prepares to take on the EU Presidency, with an AI Summit on the horizon, I very much hope that patient experience - and how it intersects with AI - will be front and centre. This is where the real stakes are. I was honoured to give the Taoiseach a copy of my book Dr Bot (he previously had agreed to launch it which is a privilege in itself) but even more meaningful was the depth of the conversation. And to have my twin sister Catherine (@Blease) invited to join us made it all the more special. My sincere thanks as well to the advisors at Department of the Taoiseach, @GovIE including @MrPatMcP for making this possible. A remarkable experience, and truly one of the greatest honours of my career.

@Bob_Wachter @Rock_Health Yes, and if you watch this space I'll tell you what the trajectory among doctors looks like

Excellent @Rock_Health analysis of survey on patients' use of AI for health info. Big finding: doubling of use in past year. Insight: healthcare orgs are implementing AI with lots of guardrails ("tortoise"); patients are diving in ("hare"). I'm quoted. rockhealth.com/insights/the-t…

@RichardLehman1 Yes, and if you watch this space I'll tell you what the trajectory among doctors looks like

Probably higher use in other countries @crblease

Today is #DaffodilDay and Ireland is turning yellow as we stand together against cancer. @IrishCancerSoc does incredible work helping patients and families across the country.

Incredible. 8 years old yet still on the mark. By @kaifulee

V good to hold meetings and give a talk at the Centre for Biomedical Ethics, National University of Singapore, hosted by @briandavidearp . Great to learn of the scale of the research going on here across the huge team of PhDs and postdocs. Last in Singapore in 2001 and last saw Brian in Bochum in 2013; since then I've followed his pioneering, empirically informed, ethics scholarship.

☘️ Almost St Patrick’s Day, so time again to share The Muppets’ peerless version of Danny Boy… The Swedish Chef, Beaker and Animal a.k.a. The Leprechaun Bothers… 🤓☘️ #stpatricksday #stpatricksday2026 #themuppets

RIP Robert Trivers - the Einstein of evolutionary biology and one the greatest thinkers of our age. Among other things, Trivers came up with parental investment theory, reciprocal altruism theory, and parent-offspring conflict theory.

Finally got round to the Digital Republic by @jamiesusskind . Read in a day; couldnt put it down. Readable, learned, vitally important.

Farewell to the wide skies of Australia, the rising hum of crickets in the warm darkness, and to the friendly, laid back city of Melbourne. A nation that feels young in its energy, yet is home to the oldest living cultures on earth. Thanks for looking after me Australia, and all my new friends, and see you again soon.
