An AI episode on @icmatters.bsky.social pod. An interesting experiment! But I prefer hearing @emrsa15.bsky.social 's wisdom and thoughts, as a trusted expert in the field.

In this latest episode, we used NotebookLM to generate a 2-person discussion on the recent CLEEN cost-effectiveness paper (jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...). Are the AI bots better at it that humans? infectioncontrolmatters.com/latest/ also on apple podcasts, spotify, audible etc #IDSky

Very sad about this. This work needs to be done
Probably the saddest episode we've put out as @1healthau.bsky.social @plr-aus.bsky.social and Kate Browne discuss the failure to get the Intermittent self-catheterisation study over the line. The disappointment is palpable. infectioncontrolmatters.com/latest/ #IDSky
