Female performance based research is NOT a new topic. Dr Mary Jacobi won the Boylston Prize (Harvard Medical School) in 1876 for her essay entitled “The question of rest for women during menstruation”, wherein cyclical changes in performance where noted. (1/2)

A light sprinkling of #snow in #hull makes for a magical (and somewhat slippery) walk to work. instagram.com/p/Bs-JulpHyZNC…

Cognitive performance is impaired in people who reported typically sleeping less (or more) than 7-8 hours per night buff.ly/2T3p2OT concludes large sleep study (> 10 000 participants)

Just walked into the wrong toilet again. See, downstairs the men's toilet on on the right. Upstairs, it's on the left. Inconstant design spawns actions-not-as-planned. It's everywhere. The errors aren't the causes of accidents. humanisticsystems.com/?s=Human+error…

A pooled analysis of 358 population-based surveys of 1.9 million people from 168 countries shows that insufficient physical activity continues to be a major health issue - especially in women (with huge geographic & income-level variations). buff.ly/2NNAVGo

A big new systematic review tackles the age-old question of differences between treadmill and outdoor running. My takeaway: the physiological and biomechanical differences are subtle at best, but how comfortable you are on the treadmill may matter: outsideonline.com/2392683/treadm…

Really not good enough @FMC_AG. Do you have any Human Factors Engineers working for you? You need to get professional help quickly before design-driven medication administration errors occur. ➡️ Make it easy to do the intended thing ➡️ Make it hard to do an unintended thing

‘Human error’: Still undefined after all these years humanisticsystems.com/2014/12/02/hum…

Trouble with PDSA is that is starts with the wrong letter. 'S' should come first. Study the system and the work! SPD 🔄. There's a reason human-centred design starts with 'Understand'. [Fact that PDSA is an implementation process is too often forgotten/unknown.]

Daytime testosterone levels were decreased by 10% to 15% in this small convenience sample of young healthy men who underwent 1 week of sleep restriction to 5 hours per night, a condition experienced by at least 15% of the US working population. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Have seen this so, and 5 or 6 interview raised it too. I get the idea, but the argument is flawed. We don’t compete in categories for people who produce more lactate, or who have short arms or torsos. And because we don’t “protect” those people, the comparison is irrelevant

Last time for my written piece, then a podcast to follow later. My summary of what I think matters in the controversial #caster #semenya CAS decision, from concepts of testosterone, to evidence & medical ethics: sportsscientists.com/2019/05/on-dsd… Sorry it’s long, but wanted to be thorough

Good point by #CSHI2019 keynote Dr. Tommaso Bellandi in that digital health tools are not a substitute for a functioning health system.
