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. Martin MacInnis James Moore #lakelouisescore #altitude #highaltitude doi.org/10.1089/ham.20…

Enormous thanks to Chocolate Tree 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?! Critical Care at Royal Infirmary Edinburgh #chocolate #nhs

Huge thanks to my coauthors Becky Charles, Mike Tipton, Clare Eglin, Heather Massey and Geoff Long 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 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…

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…

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 Extreme Environments Lab UoP @UoPSportScience

Astonishing demonstration of humanity and support for other climbers from the Polish team on #K2. A sad loss of one of their countrymen but an outstanding achievement to rescue Elizabeth Revol. x.com/ExpedMedicine/…

Really good newsletter from Flybubble Paragliding - thought the #groundhandling tips were pitched at just the right level #pitchcontrol. x.com/FlybubbleTeam/…

Huge honour to receive an AsMA International Scholarship alongside AvMed stars Bonnie Posselt and Dr Beth. Entirely due to the incredible mentoring of @spaceman_pete and Mike Tipton. Two days into the meeting and my head is already bursting with new ideas! #AsMA2018

Checklists don’t have to be lists: excellent presentation from NASA Ames group using eye tracking to compare Linear vs. Topic Blocks vs. Topic Blocks with Treatment designs.

Just landed in #Houston (no problems thus far). Time to brush up on my #spacemedicine courtesy of this great article by @spaceman_pete Bonnie Posselt Ryan Anderton and Dr Kevin Fong before visiting NASA's Johnson Space Center - the kind of British Journal of Anaesthesia #anesthesiacpd I enjoy. x.com/bonposselt/sta…

Inspired by this paper in Frontiers - Neuroscience: 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 AsMA frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
