Everyday Cyborgs 2.0

Thanks to everyone who came to our workshop at Gladstone's Library! If you missed it, we've written a brief report summarising the papers presented at the event 👇👇👇 blog.bham.ac.uk/everydaycyborg…

Are implants part of the body? Another interesting finding by @georg_starke, presented in Geneva yesterday: People with implanted deep brain stimulators tend to see them as part of their body and even themselves. This may have legal implications...

Could you help a team of researchers who are developing a new questionnaire to support parents of children being screened for Type 1 Diabetes? We are looking for parents of a child with T1D and parents who have considered screening.   We know the decision to have a child screened for a disease can be tough to make, so we are developing a new questionnaire to identify common issues that may arise in order that we can put appropriate support in place for parents who may need it.   We would like to hear your views on screening to make sure we are asking the right questions.    How can you help? Take part in a 1:1interview or focus group. If you would like to help us please DM or email katharinebarnard@bhrltd.com @kamleshkhunti @GoDiabetesMD @DRWFDiabetes @drpratikc @emmajdoble @ReeveBexon @DrRoseStewart @TBattelino @MEvansCambridge @BT1DUK @sotonDSN

Our research, @TwitTooLou is off to Geneva this week to present at the final Hybrid Minds project conference (by @jnfrchandler & @JCBublitz amongst others). Programme looks great.

Delighted to welcome @TwitTooLou to the Everyday Cyborgs' team today. And we say goodbye to @JTFRoberts after 5 years, wishing him the very best of luck in his new job.

We are currently recruiting for a postdoctoral researcher to join @ERC_Research @PatentsInHumans project closing date 26 September and full details below- please get in touch with any questions! @All_Institute @ERC_Research @MaynoothLaw @MU_Research

Pleased to announce the final conference of our international Hybrid Minds project. We welcome scholars for oral or poster presentations. Deadline for abstracts is May 31, 2024 to hybridmindconference@gmail.com memento.epfl.ch/event/call-for… #BCIs #neurotechnologies #neuroethics

A brief thread about a new paper by me on neurotech & human rights. Right at the time when #Neuralink reports its first in-human brain-computer interface implant (which is btw not the first brain implant, but a new device implanted through a new method)../ tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

You can also access it through our website where we have made available a short briefing note summarising the main regulatory points. blog.bham.ac.uk/everydaycyborg…

Our paper written by @LauraJDowney, Shane O'Donnell, Tom Melvin and @profmq, "A European regulatory pathway for Tidepool Loop following clearance in the United States?" is now available @DiabeticMed #WeAreNotWaiting #Loop #opensource #Type1Diabetes onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dm…

Wonderful Day 2 of @lawlithum Deus-Ex-Machina @QUT - keynote from @DrMitchTravis - welcome from Professor Kieran Tranter supported by @LawTechHum and @HumTechLaw @qutlaw (thanks @Dr_FaithG for the pics🙏) 🔗research.qut.edu.au/htlc/deus-ex-m…

The Routledge Handbook of #Sensory #Ethnography is out today! An amazing resource for ethnographers with an appetite for the senses. Great to see our @IN_TOUCH_UCL chapter on Tactile Apprenticeship & Industrial robots in it. By @nedbarker10 & @CareyJewitt routledge.com/The-Routledge-…

@bisilisib It was our pleasure. Good to see everything in print at last!

The paper is part of a broader symposium on the Future of Medical Devices, a fantastic reading list for all the avid readers of #MedicalDevice regulatory matters ✨ Million thanks to the @EverydayCyborgs Team for involving & guiding us in this exciting publication opportunity 🙏

Our latest paper w/@burcu_yasar_ & @e_kamenjasevic is out in @LawTechHum! And it contains an analysis of #Cybersecurity-related provisions in the #EHDS, Data Act, #AIAct 👾👇

@profmq @LauraJDowney @zaina_mahmoud94 @JeanMcHale2 @e_kamenjasevic @KasparRosager @katy_mcmillan @pillrabbit Our thanks to all our contributors and the @LawTechHum team for all their hard work on this symposium. And to @wellcometrust for their generous support of our @EverydayCyborgs project that made it all possible.

@profmq @LauraJDowney @zaina_mahmoud94 @JeanMcHale2 @e_kamenjasevic @KasparRosager @katy_mcmillan @pillrabbit Finally, Antonia Cronin and Rebecca Thom look at the challenges surrounding the regulation of regenerative medicine technologies such as the bioartificial pancreas, highlighting how their hybridity causes problems for current regulatory regimes. lthj.qut.edu.au/article/view/3…

Our symposium on Regulatory Futures & Medical Devices edited by @profmq @LauraJDowney and @JTFRoberts has now been published in @LawTechHum. Articles are based on papers presented by participants at our workshop on Visions of the Everyday Cyborg which took place last September.
