Huge thanks to Geoffrey Ginsburg for the idea for the symposium and to fellow Glaswegian Stephen Kingsmore for co-chairing. At the following session, we enjoyed a lively discussion on the future of AI in healthcare.

Atul and his legacy will not soon be forgotten. ❤️

I had the honor of remembering and celebrating our friend Atul Butte today at a special symposium at the AGBT Precision Health meeting in San Diego. I shared the stage with superstars Chris Longhurst, Marina Sirota, Lucila Ohno-Machado, and Bimal Chaudhari.

In this new opinion piece, we explore our belief that AI can make a significant impact on health by helping humans increase their physical activity. A new version of the My Heart Counts app will soon help us test that idea.

I will treasure the times I got to spend in the vicinity of his protons, neutrons & electrons.

The world is darker today for the loss of his light.

RIP

I loved his love of data, of gadgets and of new computers.
I loved how he would sit in the back of meetings and code.
I loved his stories.
His talks were legendary.
I loved how he was once paid enough to buy "a small car" for one of his talks.

Atul Butte died yesterday.
The world lost a giant.
A big bear of a man.
With a huge smile.
With love for everyone.
With energy that could power a room.
I loved everything about Atul.
I loved how he was always happy.
I loved how excited he was about science and helping people.

The NIH represents incredible value for the US economy and for the people of the world. We need to safeguard its future and that of our students and trainees.

@rachelkeranen.bsky.social and I share our thoughts in today’s LA Times.

Contributor: Slashing NIH research guarantees a less healthy, less wealthy America

The administration's cuts at the National Institutes of Health will obliterate billions in economic gains, America's scientific predominance and untold human lives.

Juxtaposing the clear benefits of exercise with the likely (small) risks of low-moderate alcohol consumption.
Not sure how far we can take this math but in a world where risks are everywhere and are hard to calibrate, it doesn't sound too far off.

Is Moderate Drinking Okay?

“Every drink takes five minutes off your life.” Maybe the thought scares you. Personally, I find comfort in it.
