Excited to share an article I co-authored on AI & Health Research... published today in @arstechnica.com! My co-author & I explore how hallucination, sycophancy, & black box algorithms threaten to erode trust in health research. We conclude with a few thoughts on what we can do about it.

The fight against AMR will not be won in laboratories alone, but in our shared habits of everyday life. We need infection prevention, vaccination, hand hygiene, and a global culture that values responsibility over convenience and stewardship over complacency.

Large numbers of CDC employees are reportedly terminated during the government shutdown, including senior leaders and critical staff, in what observers describe as a politically motivated effort to weaken the agency. Legal challenges are already underway.

We have breaking news in Inside Medicine.

We had heard rumors of RIFs to CDC.

But this is the first visual confirmation that it has occurred tonight, and at high levels in the agency.
