These are the four most popular misconceptions people have about race & gender bias in algorithms.
I'm wary of wading into this conversation again, but it's important to acknowledge the research that refutes each point, despite it feeling counter-intuitive.
Let me clarify.👇🏾
Hey @CultureAmp
I just received a @CultureAmp engagement survey link in my work email. Link is unique and thus can identify my responses, preventing honest feedback. Your survey only allows positive feedback and is thus useless. #FAIL Learn about #survivorshipbias to improve.

Time perception and prediction errors are often studied separately, but behavioral & neural evidence suggests they may be related functions.
Positive prediction errors increase perceived time; negative prediction errors decrease perceived time.

I don't know. I'm pretty over this discussion 😓
Please don't start talking about boating and weather apps again. I seriously doubt most sailors are making fine grained choices based on anything more than a few broad categorical predictions.

In the early days of the pandemic, the term "contact tracing" vaulted into the public consciousness: that's the shoe-leather- and labor-intensive process whereby skilled heath experts establish a personal rapport with infected people to establish who they had contact with.

In 2017 Medicare stopped rebating 3/4 region spine requests from chiropractors. Totally by coincidence, chiropractors stopped requiring this imaging, almost as though it was unnecessary in the first place. When can we make it 0 regions? #chiropractic #scam #alara
Radiography courses should all have a mental health component with particular focus on understanding and alleviating anxiety and fear in patients. Anxiety is self perpetuating and being a patient can be terrifying. Most "difficult patients" are just "anxious humans". Empathise.

Frustration is explaining diagnostic imaging radiation risk to a patient reeking of cigarette smoke.
Falling off bike in 1990: "Haha nice work you idiot, now rub some dirt in it mate, you'll be right". Same event in 2020: "Lets rush you to hospital NOW!".
Said to 60 y.o. CXR patient this morning: "I'm going to capture your smile". She replied: "It's escaping out my asshole". Unexpected AND confusing.

Today CT abdo for LIF pain revealed incidental large osteolytic lesion in lower R costovertebral region. Likely metastatic in 60 y.o. Significant finding but Radiologist missed it. NAD report was amended after contact by Radiographer. More eyes saves lives. #PIESavesLives

It is disgraceful and depressing to watch yet another 4th year radiography student shown the door after what is effectively a year of unpaid labour. There should be more controls around this free labour such as a guaranteed paid year following. Call it a PDY. #BringBackPDY.
Old guy came into hospital today. Fell yesterday, went to #chiropractor who did xrays before manipulation. Acute L1 fracture present easily seen on #xray but instead missed and exacerbated by chiro. Patient pain now +++. So many levels of fail here. #chiropractorxrayfail.
This fortnight I have had the pleasure of working with locum Dr David Gudex. This guy can biopsy like an absolute boss and his "virtual autopsy" style of discussing CT imagery is awesome to hear. These old school radiologist's seem like magicians at times.
Reading RANZCR's defensive response to radiographer commenting (ranzcr.com/documents/4707-im…) was sad in that they appear to undervalue their own speciality such that they imagine radiographers could encroach upon their work, an utterly ludicrous proposition to anyone in the industry.

Several radiologists have worriedly asked me if they are in danger of being replaced by AI as the hype seems to indicate. Having built various learning/classification systems from the ground up over the last 15 years I just shake my head and guffaw in response. Looooong way off.
