The 2 new LTN areas in #Oxford have measurably reduced road casualties, including those on boundary roads.
By now, benefits are 100 fewer casualties and an economic benefit of over £7 million.

The image shows a person with brown hair smiling wearing a blue shirt in front of a purple background, with text: 'Simply getting EPRs into place was never going to deliver significant benefits by itself. These benefits will come only from a concerted effort to develop effective ways of using them.'

The NHS has invested billions in getting electronic patient records (EPRs) through the door, but comparatively little in making them work well.

In this new blog, Alex Lawrence argues this will have to change if the health service is to reap the rewards of digitisation ⬇️

‘Everything is gone’: Israel destroys entire villages in Lebanon Rights groups fear tactic of ‘domicide’ trialled in Gaza, where entire areas are made uninhabitable, is being used again The Israeli military has demolished entire villages as part of its invasion of south Lebanon, rigging homes with explosives and razing them to the ground in massive remote detonations. The Guardian reviewed three videos posted by the Israeli military and on social media, which showed Israel carrying out mass detonations in the villages of Taybeh, Naqoura and Deir Seryan along the Israel-Lebanon border. Lebanese media has reported more mass detonations in other border villages, but satellite imagery was not readily available to verify these claims. Continue reading...

1/ To understand the meaning behind some of Pete Hegseth's recent political-religious rhetoric, we could do worse than turn to a short 1960 essay by political philosopher Eric Voegelin entitled: 'Ersatz Religion: The Gnostic Mass Movements of our Time'.

I heard there's a protein called AIM2.

It better not be dependent on Aim 1.

Thalia’s Team fundraising for OSCAR's Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity Help Chris Toseland raise money to support OSCAR's Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity

I disagree

The audience likes the jokes, just not in a "laugh out loud" way

Judging based on audible response is not credible imo

New research reveals why some oesophageal cancers are so hard to treat Research published today in Science Advances has uncovered new insights into why the most aggressive oesophageal cancers are so difficult to treat and how the body’s own defence systems are helping them to thrive.

NEWS: New research reveals why some oesophageal cancers are so hard to treat

@oxfordoncology.bsky.social study found that high chromosomal instability is a key feature in most dangerous types.

“Consumer software that generates text, images and videos are uniquely energy inefficient,” says Ketan Joshi, an Oslo-based climate analyst associated with the Australia Institute, due to the “vast datasets and computational strain of pattern-matching that happens underneath the hood”. Asking an AI chatbot a question consumes a great deal more energy than finding the answer via simple web search or calculator. It adds extra demand for no good reason, he says, a bit like driving to the shops in an SUV instead of riding your bike. “You might still get the shopping done, and that single trip alone may not even look all that bad in terms of cost or emissions, but what happens when that’s all of your trips, and when all of society starts doing this?”

Spoke to the Guardian about the idea of quitting LLMs for climate:

-“I see this all as very much part of the tactic of trying to embed these systems into society and instil dependency in a fashion similar to the growth of single-use plastics in the 1970s.”
