🎙️ Just wrapped a fantastic conversation with Daniel Lucas. We looked at AI's impact on healthcare.
The conversation took some fascinating turns, especially when we explored: "How AI algorithms might miss diverse populations, affecting early disease detection."
Full episode is coming soon!

Who counts as a “professional” now? Recent US loan rule changes keep a tiny list of fields (medicine, law, etc.) as “professional” and push out nursing, SLP, social work, education, public health + more. That shrinks equity-focused career pipelines. #healthequity #studentloans #STEMM
