Thanks to noted futurist Jeff Goldsmith for his lovely and insightful review of A GIANT LEAP in today's Health Affairs journal.
"... an island of calm and thoughtful commentary in the midst of an exhausting wave of hype.... Highly recommended."

A very exciting book day in my household – on the same day I received my copy of Zeke Emanuel's new book (which I'm psyched to read), a pre-pub copy of my new book showed up as well. Mine will be publicly available on Feb 3, but available for pre-order now.

Essential tools to do data science/prediction/simulation modeling in Python:

* marimo notebooks (pip install marimo; marimo edit --sandbox ___.py)
* ibis ("ibis-framework[duckdb]" to install it)
* sklearn (with major emphasis on make_pipeline)
* HSMA-style simpy (des.hsma.co.uk) + vidigi

Excellent study by team @kdpsingh.bsky.social. Using statistical models, streamlined versions of surgical supply lists can reduce hospital waste and improve operational efficiency.

An inspiring use of data to reduce waste without compromising care! Way to go!

@kdpsingh.bsky.social focusing on the "build before you buy" mentality. A lot of the AI tools that are most useful to clinicians aren't actually commercially available, so internal teams build tools they need, like their NoteReader which can help automate measurements.

One of the fun things about launching @timead.bsky.social is the amazing early career folks. We started a "scientist spotlight" website section. The 3 posted are just our first few - really gratifying to see the work of Master's & PhD students, and post-docs -more spotlights coming!
