With the rise of AI, paper milling has serious consequences- clogging up the evidence base with rubbish. And I hope not, but likely impacting clinical decision making.

This is said but so often the case. Systems overhauled out of reaction / need to appease popular opinion…will fail.

Would you rather have 1. the world's knowledge in seconds or 2. ability to read minds? For me, the 2nd sounds more interesting - but since that’s impossible, sometimes it’s easier to just ask :)

Controversial opinion, but here goes: leadership vs management - needs to be 50-50 on a day-to-day basis to avoid going down 2 different rabbit holes: knowledge for the sake of knowledge vs planning to plan. #WhatMattersMost

I loved this article - found it after googling “why does my brain learn faster reading vs listening?” This explains how what’s easier is relative - it’s called neuroscience not discipline theconversation.com/do-you-reall...

Do you really need to read to learn? What neuroscience says about reading versus listening
Whether reading a book or listening to a podcast, the goal is the same: understanding. But these activities support comprehension in different ways.
