Here’s my proposal for the new Congress to start on. Pass these bills one at a time. If Trump is going to veto, let it be crystal clear what’s being vetoed. Be a relentlessly busy Congress. We built a big damn tent, let’s start with easy wins.

Registration is now open for the next offering of the AMIA 10x10 (“ten by ten”) course that begins on January 6, 2027. This course provides a detailed overview of biomedical and health informatics and AI for those who work at the intersection of healthcare and information technology (IT).

A real honor to be inducted in the National Academy of Medicine this weekend! It is a year of awards for me and it would not have been possible without family, friends, colleagues, and students!

I am thrilled and honored to be the recipient of the 2026 @amia.org Morris F. Collen Award of Excellence. This award is the highest honor in the field of biomedical informatics and is presented to an individual whose personal commitment and dedication to biomedical informatics has made a lasting

I am off to Chicago for a two-day workshop on ophthalmology and AI, Illinois Eye-TEACH (Technology, Education, Artificial Intelligence, and Clinical Informatics in Healthcare. It is taking place at my medical school alma mater, UIC. chicago.medicine.uic.edu/ophthalmolog...

Each year, I give a lecture to first-year medical students at two universities. Entitled, Information is Different Now that You’re a Doctor, I introduce the field of clinical informatics and describe how the relationship with data and information changes when one becomes a physician.

Nice to get together with 10 of the 50 students completing the January-May 10x10 (“ten by ten”) course and spend an afternoon talking about all things informatics at the @amia.org Amplify meeting in Denver.

I am looking forward to this week’s @amia.org Amplify Conference in Denver, CO, where I will be conducting my usual in-person session for those completing the AMIA 10x10 (“ten by ten”) introductory course in biomedical informatics and AI. amia.org/education-ev...

Gosh, it’s almost as if he is, um, a liar He also lied when he said he wasn’t banning certain words; we wasted months and months of time removing “racial disparities” from our grant (endless hours on the phone with the NIH program officer) He lies as frequently as you and I breathe

In the #NASEM fireside chat with Jay Bhattacharya, he says there is no political review of grants. 👀 NIH staff being required to censor grants base on a computational text analysis tool beg to differ. www.science.org/pb-assets/PD...

Summary of the NAM workshop especially Director Bhattacharya’s Fireside chat. I will still post my reactions later, but I need some rest first.

Blog post summarizing today's #IntegrityNASEM workshop, focusing on Bhattacharya's "fireside chat." TL;DR - Chat with the NIH director was the WORST part of the entire event. Pretty dire. Includes some choice quotes from @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social. neurodojo.blogspot.com/2026/04/nati...

‼️The 10x10 digital course, Introduction to Biomedical Informatics and AI, begins TOMORROW! Hear from course director William Hersh, MD, on what you'll bring to your work after the course. Register now and get started building your #AI foundation: amia.org/education-ev...

I came for a protest and won a peace prize!

Lovely day for a protest with a cast of tens (hundreds?) of thousands in Portland!

The amazing rainbows we get in Oregon! The pot of gold is likely just inside Nehalem Bay State Park.

I enjoyed the opportunity to give my talk "AI in Education and Education in AI" yesterday to the Department of Computational Biomedicine at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. Link to a PDF of my slides and references: assets.zyrosite.com/Aq2WRaVw59SJ...

1/n Listened to a thought provoking lecture by @billhersh.bsky.social on the role of AI in education and the need for education about AI. It seems to me that we need a radical rethink about the many purposes of education and how to deliver education to achieve those purposes. Surely it is time to...

Ok, I am impressed. Flying a United Embraer 175 tonight with Starlink from SFO to PDX. You can get it via wifi as soon as you board the plane, no need to wait until takeoff or 10,000 feet. And it's fast! www.speedtest.net/result/18826...
