This book is not only interesting, it's surprisingly general. I myself love doing math and looking through algorithms. The smoother the algorithm the more excited I get. However, I'm recommending this because it does an amazing job of stripping down the essential components of the algorithm in basic terms and applying it to real life situations. … Continue reading Book suggestion: Algorithms to Live by: The Computer Science of Human Decisions

You’re playing Monopoly wrong! How does this reflect on clinical decision making and machine learning?

I love this time of year. The air is sharp and fresh enough to perk me up in the morning. I find myself being able to reset my body clock from the 3am internet addiction. A lot has happened over the past couple of months. The MSc is now in full swing and the more and … Continue reading Increasing computational power empowers clinicians

In my previous posts, I have been a little flat with the value of ideas, I've generally said that they are not worth much. If … Continue reading How much is your idea worth?
What can Dyson tell us about success?

I liked the first one and then got lazy … Continue reading What can Dyson tell us about success?
Bryan Podcast: Episode 6
In this episode, I and Nathan explore the hype around machine learning and the over hype of science. The podcast is up to an hour long, is tangential and also contains personal anecdotes and light politics. As opposed to the inspirational clinicians section that tries to pack information into a short interview this is for … Continue reading Bryan Podcast: Episode 6
