More proof that we are living in the stupidest timeline.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suggested allowing bird flu to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Veterinary scientists said that would be inhumane, dangerous and have enormous economic consequences.
RFK Jr.’s Prescription for Bird Flu on Farms: Let It Spread
The health secretary has suggested allowing the virus to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Such an experiment would be disastrous, scientists say.

We did TWENTY focus groups with patients, care partners, and clinicians to understand what they think about having sensitive information documented in the EHR. I think it's pretty timely!

With public trust in the healthcare system declining, transparency becomes even more critical - when AI is part of decision making and care, patients and families want and deserve to know. @opennotes.org
🧪 Nearly 63% of US adults value being notified of AI use in healthcare, with women and older adults most concerned. Transparent practices tailored to diverse needs can build trust. 🩺💻 #MLSky
Public Attitudes Toward Notification of Use of AI in Health Care

I’m planning my budget for health tech conferences in 2025. Registration costs for academics like me and non-profits:
Conf A: $2,395
Conf B: $3,000
Conf C: $5,000
Who benefits from these fees? 🤷♀️ IDK but it’s probably not patients and clinicians.
