Last week Neuralink implanted its first patient, a significant milestone given recent internal and regulatory setbacks (animal mistreatment, founders leaving, failed FDA bid). I ask in @ConversationEDU: Is Neuralink prepared for this next set of clinical and ethical hurdles?

Neuralink has put its first chip in a human brain. What could possibly go wrong? · @NathanLHiggins via @ConversationUK https://t.co/An75mcudUD

New commentary from Monash PhDs @steph__slack and @NathanLHiggins in @JME_BMJ. Use of the term ‘invasive’ in medicine is often inconsistent and unclear. But how can we revise ‘invasiveness’ without confusing patients or influencing decision making? https://t.co/FEKQVqnOp3

Our new article in @ijdrugpolicy explores the affordances of pauses & silences in online alcohol & other drug counselling. A pleasure to work with @tonyibarnett @KiranPienaar @NeuroethicsAU @NarelleWarren Emma Sandral @drvictoriamann1 @dan_lubman on this

"This represents a challenge for FDA: How should the agency handle a drug class that may need to be consumed in a particular setting with a certain type of supervision and accompanied by nondrug therapy to safely achieve its intended—and maximal—effect?" https://t.co/A3wkZ2o5af

We are looking for 3 fab people with clinical/qualitative research skills & interests in alcohol & other drug research to join the @TurningPointAU Clinical & Social Research team as research assistants. Great opportunity to work on exciting policy & practice relevant projects!

Profound ethical discussion on neurotechnology with @NitaFarahany. She explores self-determination and autonomy as guiding principles with a focus on the individual as decision maker. Philosophically divides into modernism vs postmodernism thinking. https://t.co/g2nyjBGgvu

Congratulations @katherinebassil !!
