I've been learning a lot about medtech since I joined @FRE_SCI. The EU-funded MiWear project is developing a wearable device to monitor metabolic syndrome - a group of health problems that put you at risk of type 2 diabetes or conditions that affect your heart or blood vessels.
Using Big Data in healthcare means better insights:
🔬 More precise drug targets
⏱️ Earlier diagnosis
💊 Safer, more effective treatments
🛡️ Better disease prevention and patient safety

We were shocked to discover that our new website emitted more carbon than 74% of websites globally but after taking the steps described in this blog, its carbon rating improved to A+ - hurrah! We hope this can help others facing the same challenge. buff.ly/488cv4c
ALT Website Carbon Calculator results for the ClimateXChange website. This web page achieves a carbon rating of A+. This is cleaner than 95% of all web pages globally.
We have a new podcast! 🎧

Every dollar invested in cycling returns 20 or 30 in social economic benefits: reduced carbon, air and noise pollution, improved public health and less congestion.
Cycling brings benefits to everyone in a city, whether or not they get on a bike.

What a honour to be part of the fantastic organising committee of the Stempra Scotland event. We had great sessions on communicating controversial research, journalism and AI. Thanks so much to everyone who spoke, chaired, asked questions or attended!

Do not put anything controversial, confidential or personal in an AI tool because they will use your inputs for training.
@BenVerinder has professional plans for all the tools he uses because you can turn this off

Tools to be aware of in AI: Future Tools collates them. Others are:
Suno - creates songs from prompts (check out sad porcupine jazz, heavy on the saxophone)
Predictive responses and text tailored to you personally
PowerPoint designer
And more...

We're having great sessions today at the Stempra Scotland event. What a priviledge it's been to be involved in organising the event with such a lovely group of people. #scicomm

There is never a problem getting a good science story on, even in the midst of an election. When we see a good story we grab it with both hands, says @BBCPallab #StempraScotland

Society benefits from every kilometer travelled by bike:
"A kilometer covered by bike yields a social benefit of €0.68, whereas cars and buses cost society €0.37 and €0.29 per kilometer travelled, respectively."
