I've gotten multiple calls lately asking to complete a survey on my political views. none of the companies could identify where my information was going or even where the survey results would have been published. I respectfully declined, but wondering, what would you do? #trust #marketing

Thanks @stanfordhai.bsky.social for including @lightcollective.bsky.social in the #HAIPolicyWorkshop. As co-authors of the #AIRightsInitiative Andrea, Isabel & I were glad to bring the #PatientVoice to discussion.

How can we build AI that earns trust, respects autonomy & reflects real lives?

No Aggregation Without Representation isn’t just a motto, it’s a demand for patient voices in AI-driven healthcare. At the recent CA Assemblly hearing on GenAI, I was able to provide testimony for @lightcollective.bsky.social AI must serve people, not just institutions. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs.

Happy #ClinicalTrialsDay! Today, we celebrate the incredible researchers, participants, and advocates who make medical breakthroughs possible. Every discovery starts with those willing to take a step forward!

ICE pays Palantir $30M to build new tool to track and deport immigrants The Denver-based data software giant is building a tool to provide ICE with enhanced capabilities to support deportation efforts, federal documents show.

Is anyone else concerned about Palantirs access to the All of Us Research database, especially given the recent contract with ICE? www.axios.com/local/denver...

At the recent #FestivalOfBiologics, I presented on transforming #RareDisease research. I shared how giving patients access & control over their #HealthData can bridge research to clinical care & how tools like #GenomicMapping can lead to new discoveries and personalized treatments. #FutureOfHealth

They announced it towards the end. 💜

With the way people talk about these rallies, I'm not sure angry is the right word to use. They don't look angry to me. They look like they're doing it peacefully. 💜

Good catch! It should say mixed race woman, but I don't think there's a way to edit the alt text on @bsky.app yet. Any tips? 🤔💜

I went to Catholic School and was raised in a practicing Catholic family. To see Easter even associated with a post like this is appalling to me and should be for anyone who "claims" to be Catholic. This goes against everything I was taught to believe. 😢

Happy Easter... 💜

I thought this a long time ago... when they won the contract for the NHS and then the All of Us Research Program, it confirmed my suspicions...😢

I second this for the US!

Patients And Communities as Catalysts For Progress A Vision For The Future

Democratizing data access can unlock breakthroughs, elevate our human potential, and foster accountability, but it is highly dependent on ethical governance and collaboration. check out my latest article and let me know if you agree. What does your vision for the future look like?

An open letter to Attorney General Rob Bonta and California residents who have participated in 23andMe

I sent this as both an email and posted openly on social media to California Attorney General Rob Bonta regarding his announcement about 23andMe. Still no response... open.substack.com/pub/christin...

A six panel comic. In panel 1, a yellow warbler says "Hey, so I'm going to go out on a limb here". For the next four panels, it hops down along a branch. In the last panel, at the end of the branch, it sings a little song. I'm sorry.

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry
