This is HUGE.
Google's new medical LLM, Med-PaLM 2, scored 86.5% on the medical exam MedQA 🤯
Not only that, but a panel of 15 human doctors preferred Med-PaLM 2's answers over real doctor answers across 1066 standardized questions.
Does this mean that doctors are going to be replaced? No.
But I am a believer that AI combined with human knowledge and experience would make the most powerful duo.

📢📢 We are developing a framework for evaluating wastewater surveillance. We are looking for a member of the public to join our team to ensure that the public interest is represented.
DM me if you or someone you know is interested. You don't need research experience.

Like everywhere, use cases mature: some come (airplanes! ✈), and others scale back (neighbourhoods?). More amazing use cases will emerge for sure. There is also head-scratching to find the optimal roles for academia, GO and business. 1/4

I don't recall an article from Cell that starts with the word, "alarming".
"Alarming antibody evasion properties of rising SARS-CoV-2 BQ and XBB subvariants."

We have to assume every flight✈️ carries #COVID19 while pandemic still raging. 96% of flights positive for COVID in toilet wastewater is a lot. Assume in air too. Please #MaskUp unless you want to play Russian roulette with #LongCovid. #COVIDIsAirborne.

Covid-19 testing all travellers from China is a policy that won't last long.
Sentinel traveller testing for early detection of variants? Maybe.
The lasting discussion is about wastewater and surface testings of airports and airplanes. Use a multi-nation, transparent approach.
