When I was a senior at @harvard in 1990 I started an "Environmental Issues" journal as part of activities leading to the 20th anniversary of Earth Day. I hoped to get EO Wilson to be our faculty sponsor. I phoned his office and arranged a meeting with him via his assistant 1/n
I figured, with a prof. like him this would be a very brief meeting. But instead I got to his office, and there was Wilson, and he was so excited about something. He had a new book out on Ants he wanted to show me. And we looked it over for like an hour. 2/n
Then, he took me on a tour of his lab (I think he showed me ant colonies and other ant things). And then we sat down for another hour and discussed Earth Day and student activism and other environmental issues. And yes, he agreed to be the faculty sponsor of the journal. 3/n

Just to be clear, I donāt āhateā @babylonhealth (hate is emotive & suggests a lack of objectivity). However I do not trust Babylon - & in my opinion - Babylon has not demonstrated the ethical or moral values expected of an #AI #HealthTech corporation.

Itās important to note that the ācorporateā failings of the @babylonhealth are as consequence of decisions taken by a tiny minority of the senior leadership team - & are not in any way a reflection on Babylonās employees or clinical services.
