I'm so sick of billionaires talking about how they're going to eliminate jobs without also talking about how badly we need universal basic income and what they're personally doing to make it happen as soon as possible. They already owe us restitution for decades of unshared productivity growth.

What is the role of intuitive expertise in urgent care clinicians?

We found few field studies of expert clinical decision-making, even fewer exploring beyond diagnostic decisions. So we did our own. Learn more from our pen access analytic autoethnographic study here: doi.org/10.1371/jour...
