I am a physiologist — a professor, a head of department, and a PhD scholar- a reader, a thinker and researcher by profession and by nature. What I have learned to do is read and decipher large amounts of literature on one topic, to find patterns and to summarise large pieces of information. This is what happens next.

The Professor’s Digest is a different vantage point on the same instinct: the need to find mechanisms, patterns, solve problems and finally find meaning. I write here about artificial intelligence and what it borrows from, and returns to, about sciences, about places where curiosity, destiny or a plane ticket has taken me; about the plain science behind ordinary health decisions; and about whatever else doesn’t fit neatly into a category but seemed worth writing down anyway.

Some of it is rigorous. Some of it is just noticing. All of it is written by someone who is, by profession and by temperament, still trying to understand how things work — minds, machines, bodies, and the moving world they all share.
