It was such a pleasure to be part of this project!

1/ 🚨🚨 New paper alert 🚨🚨 Introducing RETFound, a foundation model for ophthalmology We’re super excited about this and hope it will act as a #Cornerstone for global efforts to prevent blindness through #AI @UCLeye @Moorfields #OpenAccess @Nature https://t.co/DsvKgeUH5m

A massive thank you to @TerenceLeungUCL for his guidance, and to Christabel, Miranda, Judith, Anita, Felix, and all the participants and their guardians at @KBTH_GH, for their time and effort in making this possible.

There’s a long way to go before this could ever become a clinical tool in the hands of patients, but it’s nice to have obtained this promising result suggesting computerised processes to replicate and improve upon human judgement of pallor are likely to be useful.

I am so proud to see that this research has captured people’s attention - when I was on my train to my @medimaging_cdt interview, I was reading @EricTopol’s (excellent) book “Deep Medicine” and I’m happy to have been able to contribute something back to the field.

It was an amazing experience to work with @EelcoTromer and @BungoAkiyoshi on this! It makes a really interesting case study of how proteins can be repurposed in different evolutionary clades.

Since we first publicised this method, which was primarily the brainchild of @LowVisionNews, we've had over 1700 downloads of the paper assessment aids.

Pleased to have been part of developing a new proof-of-concept method for low-tech, at-home monitoring of vision. In this uncertain time, simple remote screening will hopefully prove useful, especially for opthalmologists with digitally excluded patients. https://t.co/tAxgnIWVxi

The future is here. Moorfields’ virtual eye casualty: “Video consultations showed greater than expected usefulness in the remote management of eye disease and supported a substantial reduction in the number of people visiting the hospital” ⁦

Loosely inspired by W.F. Hermans’ An Untouched House, @MAnsley_ 's 1940’s house exploration game hopes to provide a series of evocative, surreal, and ‘contemplative’ environments in a narrative experience.

Congratulations to @Clouvider on the new locations - and thanks for the stickers and coasters!

I had a great time in John Mollon’s lab with @pbmthomas, Peter Veto, and Phillip Alexander getting to work on this, and it’s amazing to see the work we’ve all put in come to fruition. I learned a lot over my time there, and it’ll be exciting to see where the research goes next

How do we measure ability to detect of motion in the edge of our visual field, and which type of cell in the retina might detect that motion? These are some of the questions we were investigating in the first publication I’ve been part of

Bio-coal—a type of fuel made from plant waste—could serve as a substitute for grain-based biofuels and ultimately replace coal, according to a new @ScienceAdvances study. Read more: https://t.co/Ml1aGp2suj

A paper in Nature shows a new class of antibiotics with a spectrum of activity and mechanism of action, a step in the fight against antimicrobial resistance. The antibiotics effectively kill Gram-negative bacteria by disrupting outer membrane synthesis. https://t.co/0Be94osevO
