And so the world was introduced to what would become a staple trope of the zombie sub-genre: stay put, or keep moving? What was particularly ingenious about Romero’s idea was that his films (and the many that… ## [A Diagnostic Smorgasbord](https://sensitiveandspecific.substack.com/p/a-diagnostic-smorgasbord) _2026-07-09 · Mara G.

That moment arrived last week and rather than hand coding something from scratch I decided to do it with Claude Code alongside. This post is all about what my son and I did that afternoon and how the LLM made the whole thing a radical… ## [Predicting side effects from steroids ... and a device that detects the gas you pass](https://sensitiveandspecific.substack.com/p/predicting-side-effects-from-steroids) _2026-06-26 · Mara G.

The book is a history of New York in the 80s that centres around some of the cities most interesting characters. “Gods” to me suggested power in a traditional sense: politics, money etc., and with this in mind, the title lets the book down as the cast is as actually a much more diverse set. Yes there is Ed Koch, Roy… ## [Spotlight on gynecology](https://sensitiveandspecific.substack.com/p/spotlight-on-gynecology) _2026-06-05 · Mara G. Aspinall · Sensitive & Specific: The Testing Newsletter_ Volume 13, Issue 21 | June 4, 2026 ## [The Case for Frozen Foods: What the Research Actually Says](https://reganjonesrdn.substack.com/p/the-case-for-frozen-foods-what-the) _2026-04-21 · Regan Jones, RDN, ACSM-CPT · Regan Jones, RDN | This Unmillennial Life_ If you’ve ever stood in the frozen food aisle feeling a little guilty, like somehow reaching for a bag of frozen vegetables or a convenient entrée was the “lazy” or “less healthy” choice, I want you to let that guilt go. ## [2025 in review](https://danielbower.com/2026/01/04/2025-review.html) _2026-01-04 · Daniel Bower_ At the end of 2024, and after only recently joining NHS England, I gave myself two years to see if I can make the kind of impact I would hope to see in a Head of Product role. A year has now passed since I published that post, and so, with the challenge I set myself in mind, and as my teammates from across Digital Prevention have been doing in the past few weeks, its time for some reflections.… ## [Technological sightlines](https://danielbower.com/2026/01/01/technological-sightlines.html) _2026-01-01 · Daniel Bower_ → When robot taxis get stuck, a secret army of humans comes to the rescue This Washington Post story from the end of last year caught my attention. TLDR; when a seat belt gets caught in the door of a self-driving car the car doesn’t have the necessary appendages to fix the problem itself and so it is temporarily deactivated. The solution is gig-work roadside assistance, and $20 to the responder… ## [Cory Doctorow on AI hype and the historic neutrality of platforms](https://danielbower.com/2025/12/08/political-economy-ai-hype-neutral-platforms.html) _2025-12-08 · Daniel Bower_ → The Reverse-Centaur’s Guide to Criticizing AI Lots of great insight here from Cory, but I was particularly draw to his description of what I called the “political economy of hype” in a previous post on web3 . What’s nice about Cory’s addition is that it addresses the topic from the perspective of publicly traded stocks, whereas I was interested in venture backed startups. The point is… ## [In-year benefits and the 10 Year Plan for the NHS](https://danielbower.com/2025/11/26/in-year-benefits-10-year-plan.html) _2025-11-26 · Daniel Bower_ Imagine my surprise on joining NHS England to discover that it had a secret sugar addiction. Not the kind that you might find in staff vending machine, but the kind of sugary hit that comes for craving in-year benefits. “What are in-year benefits?” I hear you say. To answer that question, we must enter the wonderful world of public sector programme management. Forgive me, while we take a brief… ## [3 Midlife Nutrition Swaps That Actually Move the Needle](https://reganjonesrdn.substack.com/p/3-midlife-nutrition-swaps-that-actually) _2025-10-14 · Regan Jones, RDN, ACSM-CPT · Regan Jones, RDN | This Unmillennial Life_ Small changes that make a measurable difference for women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond ## [Play Both Sides Of The Lie (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/FcL1gFpOz7yB) _2025-10-14 · **Sponsored**_ Two operatives, one manufactured war — uncover the Complete Truth after both campaigns. ## [A New Series for Busy Weeknights: Easy Dinner Recipes](https://reganjonesrdn.substack.com/p/a-new-series-for-busy-weeknights) _2025-09-25 · Regan Jones, RDN, ACSM-CPT · Regan Jones, RDN | This Unmillennial Life_ Many of you are here because you’ve listened to my podcast or share my interest in midlife nutrition. ## [An Easy Way To Start A Wellness Supplement Routine](https://reganjonesrdn.substack.com/p/an-easy-way-to-start-a-wellness-supplement) _2025-08-28 · Regan Jones, RDN, ACSM-CPT · Regan Jones, RDN | This Unmillennial Life_ A behind-the-scenes look at NOW Foods and a simple supplement “starter kit” recommendation that lays the foundation for better everyday wellness. ## [Why lung cancer screening is a glimpse into the future of digital prevention](https://danielbower.com/2025/08/25/future-digital-prevention.html) _2025-08-25 · Daniel Bower_ Last month, a small multi-disciplinary team from the Digital Prevention Services Portfolio (where I am Head of Product for Screening) presented to the NHS England team responsible for Lung Cancer Screening on how we would go about digitising a section of the participant journey. This section is interesting because, after being invited for screening, the participant answers a few questions about… ## [Being product-led and the scientific method](https://danielbower.com/2025/05/28/product-led-scientific-method.html) _2025-05-28 · Daniel Bower_ Since joining NHS England about six eight months ago, one of the topics that has come up repeatedly is being product-led. To be agile, rather than waterfall. To avoid being “programmatic”. This conversation came up very little during the first twenty years of my career. To some extent this was because we had no historical way of working, and so the “newer method” was therefore the default option.… ## [Collagen for GenX Women: What You Need to Know](https://reganjonesrdn.substack.com/p/collagen-for-genx-women-what-you) _2025-04-29 · Regan Jones, RDN, ACSM-CPT · Regan Jones, RDN | This Unmillennial Life_ Understanding the science behind collagen supplements—and how they can support skin, joints, and vitality for GenX women in midlife. ## [Questions About Collagen?](https://reganjonesrdn.substack.com/p/questions-about-collagen) _2025-04-23 · Regan Jones, RDN, ACSM-CPT · Regan Jones, RDN | This Unmillennial Life_ Good morning, friends. ## [Turmeric and Ginger: A Potent Duo for Health and Wellness](https://reganjonesrdn.substack.com/p/turmeric-and-ginger-a-potent-duo) _2025-03-14 · Regan Jones, RDN, ACSM-CPT · Regan Jones, RDN | This Unmillennial Life_ Exploring the Science Behind Their Synergy, Health Benefits, and Best Ways to Use Them ## [The Critical Role of Omega 3s in Brain Health, Concussion Recovery, and Young Athletes](https://reganjonesrdn.substack.com/p/the-critical-role-of-omega-3s-in) _2025-03-03 · Regan Jones, RDN, ACSM-CPT · Regan Jones, RDN | This Unmillennial Life_ On Global Omega 3 Day, learn how these essential fats support brain health, concussion recovery, and teen athletes—plus my top food and supplement picks. ## [Greens Supplements Demystified: How to Choose Wisely & Bridge Nutrition Gaps](https://reganjonesrdn.substack.com/p/greens-supplements-demystified-how) _2025-02-23 · Regan Jones, RDN, ACSM-CPT · Regan Jones, RDN | This Unmillennial Life_ A Practical Guide to Navigating Ingredients, Nutritional Gaps, and the Hype of Greens Supplements ## [Meet Claude, the AI assistant (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/BaExL643KzrS) _2025-02-23 · **Sponsored**_ Conversational AI to answer questions, brainstorm ideas, and help with tasks. ## [Joining NHS England](https://danielbower.com/2024/12/26/joining-nhs-england.html) _2024-12-26 · Daniel Bower_ After nearly 20 years of working in startups in October I joined NHS England, the non-departmental part of the Department of Health and Social Care that is responsible for the planning and operation of the NHS in England. It is an enormous change. I’ve never worked in an organisation with over 200 staff. NHS England, by comparison, employs over 30,000 people and is part of a wider NHS that is the…
