“Cutaneous fibrofolliculomas and trichodiscomas in Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome: a review of therapeutic strategies” is now out in @DermSurg_ASDS 🎉 journals.lww.com/dermatologi…
A real testament to the @BHD_Foundation patient advocates and @derm_scientist who have championed this work!

I wrote about the state of AI, why I’m concerned about the next few years, and the choices we need to make to keep the future in humanity’s hands.

We need influential medical experts to be active here on X. We can help by providing good medical information and updates for patients and colleagues. We can network. We can counter misinformation. Clarify complex questions. Share accomplishments and publications. And more. I learn every day.
Although X has is not the same as the amazing platform Twitter used to be, it’s still the Number one social media platform for medicine. I’m happy to be here.
Our brief report from @NIHRNewcBRC @UniofNewcastle and @NIH, “Facial tumor mapping distinguishes Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome from CYLD cutaneous syndrome” will be published in print in @JAADjournals next month. Keep an eye out! jaad.org/article/S0190-9622(…
A thoughtful, stirring paper that should force deep introspection in every physician about where our value will lie in an AI-dominated world—and how medical education should be proactively redesigned.
If AI can diagnose as well as we can…what’s left of being a doctor?
Our new paper in @JournalGIM argues that as algorithms master "What's wrong?", our professional identity must shift to "What should we do?"

Delighted to see our new article published online this week in @ced_journal 🎉
We highlight a striking case of UVA-induced pseudoporphyria, drawing attention to the under-reported risks of sunbeds and UV nail lamps as emerging triggers. academic.oup.com/ced/advance…
This paper reinforces the importance of asking patients about commercial UVA exposure, particularly in those with lower eumelanin skin types, and highlights the need for better public awareness of the dermatological risks of UV cosmetic devices.
Grateful to my fantastic co-authors Jonathan Lye, @mdalexander01, Kate Short, Sophie Weatherhead, and Bayanne Olabi for their guidance and support 👏🏼

Delighted to have been asked to write this article by @PhilSmithIsBack for @FrontGastro_BMJ
Hopefully useful for residents and some familiar themes for career academics.

If this motivating factor is not reintroduced soon, I strongly believe the quality of medical graduate will be reduced. A more equitable system would involve adopting a US approach, whereby one’s score on the standardized UKMLA could be used for foundation allocation.
