Johns Hopkins Professor of Medicine, Marty Makary. What a fucking dipshit.
The FDA is easing regulation for wearable devices and AI-enabled clinical decision support tools. Commissioner Makary intro'd the news at #CES2026, telling attendees the FDA will "get out of the way" and "promote AI." Read our news analysis:

This is a catastrophe.
1. Devices are as important to regulate as pharmaceuticals.
2. The market is notoriously bad at determining safety, accuracy, and which technologies are in the public interest.
3. Even when the market does tell us when a tech is bad, it does so *after it has caused harm*.

“FDA Commissioner Marty Makary indicated that one of the agency’s priorities is fostering an environment that’s good for investors… The new approach appears to open the door to the unregulated use of generative AI products for certain medical tasks, such as summarizing a radiologist’s findings.”

It was Paul Fine’s retirement lecture at LSHTM last week. He’s had a fascinating career, and I’ve learned a huge amount from him over the years.
A key takeaway for me: it’s worth making most of interesting & unexpected opportunities when they arise, even if they push you outside your comfort zone.

This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained." www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪
Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding
With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.
