If you're a clinician there is no doubt that you've spotted a problem and thought of a possible solution. This is having an idea, but how much is it worth? 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?

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.

Realities of med-tech success
The other day I went to a talk by an investor at MD Start. Considering our ever-increasing reliance on med tech the average clinician would be forgiven to think that investment in med tech is booming. Although potentially millions can be made if your invention makes it this doesn’t mean that there are people lining … Continue reading Realities of med-tech success

I wanted to get information on projects so in between this I've been juggling multiple meetings and reading around each project in order not to waste the supervisors' time. … Continue reading Man, what a beating
X-ray research develops more than just medicine
It was my first day at UCL. In the morning the induction was much the same as any other departments. Talks on plagiarism, university policies, timetabling/deadlines, and marking schemes. It got real when researchers started giving talks on their projects. What really encapsulated the essence of why I wanted to apply physics to medicine was … Continue reading X-ray research develops more than just medicine
Staff rostering software can destroy lives
Generally, I'm a tech optimist. I truly believe that we are living in the most exciting times and that life in general for most people is only going to get better. Anyone who thinks this is crazy should stop focusing on the fluctuations of the last 10 years and look at the bigger picture. kings … Continue reading Staff rostering software can destroy lives
