This is true. It’s almost as if she had a vested interest in keeping this idea in the public consciousness.

If any NSC officials would like to add me to impromptu top secret principals' meetings then my Signal bio is in my username. I promise to keep memes to the necessary minimum.

Our letter on why meritocratic selection is the best way to choose doctors for training posts is just out in BJPsych Journals. Lotteries and quotas are bad for both doctors and patients. doi.org/10.1192/bjp.20… Thanks to Ishaac Awatli & Talia Eilon for collaborating!

OA paper out today with Jemma Hazan. We navigate the challenges of Alzheimer’s biomarker cut-points in clinical practice and make sense of the dreaded intermediate or “grey zone”, where 20% of patients’ result will fall. Jemma put a lot of work into this so you don’t have to!

Profoundly disappointed by Royal College of Psychiatrists and their apparent silence over this. Regardless of respect for diversity of members’ and fellows’ views on AD, the obvious dangers of the Bill and the impact on psychiatrists concern all of us.

Very big impact: The final version of a randomized, controlled World Bank study finds using a GPT-4 tutor with teacher guidance in a six week after school progam in Nigeria had "more than twice the effect of some of the most effective interventions in education" at very low costs

Updated paper by physicians at Harvard, Stanford, and other academic medical centers testing o1-preview for medical reasoning & diagnosis tasks: “In all experiments—both vignettes and emergency room second opinions—the LLM displayed superhuman diagnostic and reasoning abilities.”

This is great from Royal College of Psychiatrists. Wisdom really is guiding.

This has nothing to do with the NHS’s unpreparedness. If the drugs did something meaningful, we’d have all moved heaven and earth to deliver them to our patients. The reality is that they just don’t do enough to justify risks, cost and what we’d have to give up to fund them.

De jove, com a estudiant de medicina sense ni 5, vaig ser subjecte dels experiments d’en Magí assegut en una cadira com aquesta. Bona jubilació, Mestre! 🎉 As a broke medical student, I was a subject in Magí’s studies. Happy retirement, mestre!

The idea that antipsychotics do not provide clinically meaningful benefits in acute treatment of psychosis is so disconnected from scientific & clinical evidence that I consider contorted arguments for it as a proxy for one’s ability to engage in supercharged confirmation bias.

Same goes for ECT in severe depression, the scientific & clinical evidence is overwhelming

A sharp question, among many in this excellent piece on the assisted dying bill
