For the record, the proportion of professors at Cambridge who are Black is 0.4%. The number of Black people in the UK population is 4%. So the number of Black professors at Cambridge is ONE TENTH of what you would expect in a meritocracy.
Margot Finn@eicathomefinn.bsky.social · 4d agoPaddy O'Connell, asked on the programme to estimate what % of professors at Cambridge are black, estimated it at 30%. Seriously, 30%.

We’re about to spend £10bn on AI in the NHS. Here’s @marydixonwoods.bsky.social & @healthfoundation.bsky.social’s essential notes on how to do it: “Spending should not simply push technology into the system. It must build the capacity to learn from its use in practice” www.bmj.com/content/394/...

Helen Czerski@helenczerski.bsky.social · 2mo agoJust finished easily the best book I've read in the past year: Minute Six by @drkevinfong.bsky.social Look out for it in September, especially if you're interested in people, systems & teamwork (and you should be - we all depend on all of them). Absolutely essential reading, brilliantly written.
Was - very, very briefly - in Boston. More Scottish people in town for the #WorldCup than there are in Scotland I think. Became an honorary Scot & sat in the bar and watched the 🇨🇦 v 🇶🇦 game with a few of them last night. Great fun. #IamConorMcFongoftheClanMcFong

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...
Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

I am so grateful for this review of my novel Wash in @financialtimes.com "Readers enter her fiction almost physically, as it is so solid and majestic, rather like the great bridge itself." Amazing to feel seen. So many thanks @saltpublishing.com my ace publisher... www.ft.com/content/40b9...

Wiseman “We can see the moon out of window 2. Looks a lot smaller than it did yesterday.” #ArtemisII #Artemis 🤣
Excited to see the #ArtemisII crew home. But starting & stopping are the hardest feats in all of human space exploration. (Take a look at the Artemis I heat shield post flight). I held my breath for the launch and I’ll do so again for entry tonight. Safe flight #Artemis. Everything crossed for you.
