I feel like medical professionals in the US are not doing enough to stand up to the madness led by RFK Jr that is destroying US health policy
I'm not even American.
I shouldn't be doing it.

🧪 Detailed data viz NYT article, out today, on the extent of funding cuts at the National Science Foundation.
This "broken pie chart" is neat & new to me: Powerfully shows the slowdown in new NSF awards across areas.

Great to present feasibility study on AI to detect invasive pulmonary mould infections from CT scans at #BIASpring2025.
Proof-of-concept but need to develop surrounding infrastructure to develop this and other AI projects within NHS.

Terrific update on histoplasmosis by expert Antoine Adenis from Cayenne, French Guyana
We are seeing more and more cases diagnosed in the UK in travellers to endemic areas.
Easier to diagnose than ever before with new rapid tests.
