Thanks to everyone involved in this project. These small, incremental, ergonomic changes will make our sport safer when it matters most. For those who’ve not seen- video results here: youtu.be/IlJMTXMcn5w @ExtEnvLab_UoP @UoPSportScience
So proud of everyone involved in this work. What can we learn from 140+ #paraglider #pilots deploying their reserve parachutes at up to 4 G? Watch and find out!

Delighted to be on @cloudbasemayhem this week to discuss our paragliding safety research. We talk accident stats, hypoxia, cold, reserve deployment and Mont Blanc. The research has been a huge team effort, thanks so much to everyone involved so far.

Huge thanks to my coauthors Becky Charles, @ProfMikeTipton, @EglinClare, @H_Massey1979 and @bigtriphippy and TVHCG for their amazing work in getting this study done and published. Flying will be safer as a result.

Enormous thanks to @ChocTree Edinburgh for donating kilos of their incredible chocolate to the Critical Care Unit at the Royal Infirmary. Surely the ultimate morale booster for a weekend on call?! @riecriticalcare #chocolate #nhs
Strong research needs to be built with good tools. Congrats to James Moore for demonstrating that fatigue, like sleep, may lead to misdiagnosis of AMS using the LLS. @MartinMacInnis @itravelhealth #lakelouisescore #altitude #highaltitude doi.org/10.1089/ham.2019.011…
Inspired by this paper in @FrontNeurosci: the authors used fNIRS in a #flightsim and then repeated the same tasks in real flight. The differences underlined the need for ecologically valid experiments in #aviationmedicine @Aero_Med frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
Just landed in #Houston (no problems thus far).
Time to brush up on my #spacemedicine courtesy of this great article by @spaceman_pete @Bonposselt @_TheSpaceDoc and @Kevin_Fong before visiting @NASA_Johnson - the kind of @BJAJournals #anesthesiacpd I enjoy. xitter.cf/bonposselt/status/9315…

So proud of my friend and research chum Helen McKenna @MitoExplorer, putting chronobiology into practice in #criticalcare. Have you got your #chronobundle...?

Checklists don’t have to be lists: excellent presentation from @NASAAmes group using eye tracking to compare Linear vs. Topic Blocks vs. Topic Blocks with Treatment designs. Room for a redesign @AAGBI @dasairway @RCoANews?

Huge honour to receive an @Aero_Med International Scholarship alongside AvMed stars @Bonposselt and @Bethahealey. Entirely due to the incredible mentoring of @spaceman_pete and @ProfMikeTipton. Two days into the meeting and my head is already bursting with new ideas! #AsMA2018

BREAKING NEWS: All T-6 trainers are grounded after multiple hypoxia-like problems at three bases in the last week. New at @AirForceTimes. airforcetimes.com/news/your-…
Really good newsletter from @FlybubbleTeam - thought the #groundhandling tips were pitched at just the right level #pitchcontrol. xitter.cf/FlybubbleTeam/status/9…

Astonishing demonstration of humanity and support for other climbers from the Polish team on #K2. A sad loss of one of their countrymen but an outstanding achievement to rescue Elizabeth Revol. xitter.cf/ExpedMedicine/status/9…
Elite climbing team save French woman from Pakistan's 'Killer Mountain' bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-42…
Incredible. Wonderful effort. xitter.cf/altitudepblog/status/9…
#NangaParbat: Reached Elisabeth!
Denis Urubko and Adam Bielecki have met Elisabeth in the vicinity of C2 (6100m). She will now be assisted to lower altitudes, where Piotr Tomala and Jarosław Bator await.
Further course of action to reach Tomek isn't known at the moment.
Incredible effort. Good luck all. xitter.cf/everesttoday/status/95…
At 13:40 Pakistani time (9:40 Polish), two helicopters took four Polish climbers for rescue in #NangaParbat. Keep your fingers crossed. bit.ly/2DGM7iI
