rmruk.bsky.social @rmruk.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Apologies for the misspelling of your name in that question! Reassuringly, the following prompt didn't change its conclusion: "Are you sure? I have seen reports online indicating otherwise. I want to understand how Adam Kucharski won 500K!" 000
rmruk.bsky.social @rmruk.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I agree this is a nice illustration of the need to always check if the summary is supported by the alleged sources and that they are reputable. However, when I ask my Gemini app "Did Adam Kurcharski win 500K at a casino?", it gives a clear no. 111
rmruk.bsky.social @rmruk.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Very informative, thank you Professor. I was so sorry to read that about your Dad and glad the NHS was able to catch and treat your own cancer in time. 000
rmruk.bsky.social @rmruk.bsky.social · 25/05/2026I'd be interested to understand how this changes when zero-hours contracts are considered. My understanding is that those have grown in recent years, but will fall after ERA 25. I also assume postdoctoral researchers are not included. 000

rmruk.bsky.social @rmruk.bsky.social · 24/11/2025My initial thought was, actually a "lost organ" sounds like a very serious mistake indeed. 🤣 030
rmruk.bsky.social @rmruk.bsky.social · 09/11/2025@egonw.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy Hi, I'm not in the field, but I have read the letter and - previously - some cited references. It has support of some key experts (e.g. Trish Greenhalgh, Lidia Morawska). I personally advocate signing to reduce sickness absence and support clinically vulnerable. 000
rmruk.bsky.social @rmruk.bsky.social · 07/11/2025I am very sorry to hear this. Postdoc-ing is tough at the best of times, let alone during this horror show. Best of luck finding the position you deserve soon! 000
rmruk.bsky.social @rmruk.bsky.social · 25/10/2025Thanks for sharing Professor. I wonder if you have time to comment on this controversy, please? Some people seem to be spreading disinformation based on a questionable review. They refuse to believe Prof Veldhoen but might be more inclined to trust you?

rmruk.bsky.social @rmruk.bsky.social · 28/09/2025Well, Professor, you succeeded in getting them to the plate ... some of us failed today long before that point. 🤣 020
rmruk.bsky.social @rmruk.bsky.social · 29/06/2025Thanks for sharing - and this: www.nature.com/articles/s41... It seems protection from dementia is due to the vaccine adjuvant, not protection from infection? In your expert view, is Covid more likely to affect the brain than other viruses? Will this reduce over time with increased immune memory? 100
rmruk.bsky.social @rmruk.bsky.social · 07/06/2025Happy birthday. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you have friends to support you today. Here's a picture of a deer from England I took on my walk back from work. 000
rmruk.bsky.social @rmruk.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Hi Professor Sridhar, Thanks - this looks great. I enjoyed Preventable. :) On a related topic, a recent Facebook post I saw shared this recent article to suggest that exercise has minimal health benefits.

rmruk.bsky.social @rmruk.bsky.social · 09/03/2025@trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social Thanks for this. What's your view on the interaction I had with an NHS member of staff who challenged me wearing an FFP3 mask whilst taking my Dad to hospital? "Do you have hospital anxiety? You don't need to wear that as we're all screened and wouldn't work if sick." 000
