Despite Susan's disdain, I wanted to point out that a kit like this likely saved my Dad's life.

Negative marking is a good thing.

It's estimated that for every £1 invested in HE, the return to the economy is £14. In the long run, this will cost money. But politics so often only seems concerned with the short term. And it's not like HE is in the middle of a financial crisis or anything...

Tickets for the @BradfordLitFest 2026 are now on sale: bit.ly/43FOyA0 I’ll be there!

If this ain’t it in a nutshell

I have yet to hear an academic say this....

The Center for Cardiovascular Research at UChicago is looking for a mid-career or established PI pursuing research in heart rhythm disorders, heart failure, or cardiomyopathy. Contact Dr Arora (rishi.arora@bsd.uchocago.edu) or myself (Jonathan.kirk@bsd.uchicago.edu) if interested

Catastrophic news from Exeter, on the heels of Dundee and Nottingham. The UK gov't and devolved governments need to urgently get a grip: the sums involved are not enormous, but damage to the university system will soon be irreparable. 1/2 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Medical TV dramas are full of errors, and that turns out to be a teaching opportunity. Using clips from shows like Grey's Anatomy to spot diagnostic mistakes generated rich discussion and strong engagement among medical students. @ASMEofficial #MedEd …epublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

I'm always excited to see work I was involved in getting promoted!

Opened Google Scholar today and was immediately hit with “AI can now summarize academic articles.” Bro, it’s called an abstract and it already exists.

Haha!

@fesshole Please give Jack Dee credit for the Lunt teacher bit

Our teacher was called Mr Lunt. He was a nice guy but we hounded the poor man by changing his first initial to C everywhere. They could never find who was doing it because it was all of us. So sorry, sir, you were one of the few who wasn't a cunt.

@DrHelenECollin1 That's awesome - well done, Helen!

I am incredibly thankful to be honored by the American Physiology Society in the name of Dr. Guyton. Extremely thankful to my mentors at at UofL SOM, the Envirome Institute, and the Center for Cardiometabolic Science (and beyond) for supporting my laboratory and career. Special thanks to Steven Jones, Bradford Hill, and Merry Lindsey for believing in me especially when I didn’t necessarily believe in myself, and for wholeheartedly supporting me. Now I better get to work and continue the marathon.
