Nuria and Morgan introduce the Early Career Medical Writers Summit, running June 8 to 12 as an audio-first community experience on Slack with seven speakers, daily 20-minute sessions, and live Q&As.

They walk through who the summit is for, including brand new writers, those a few years in, and folks considering a move from employed roles into freelance, and preview their own sessions: Nuria on how to talk to clients (and employers) about using AI, and Morgan on how to actually use LinkedIn once your profile is built without letting it take over your life.

A Blue Rose Research report is tracking AI as a political issue, and the numbers are striking. AI is rising in voter concern faster than any other issue they track, including climate change, childcare, and abortion.

At the same time, 61% of Americans say life has gotten less affordable, and only 25% feel confident in their financial future. Nuria and Morgan talk through what happens when those two anxieties collide, whether companies blaming layoffs on AI are always telling the full story, and what the GPS-and-taxi-drivers analogy reveals about which jobs are actually at risk.

They also get into UBI, taxing AI companies, why Bernie Sanders is not the only politician with a position on this, and what it looks like to adapt your career around what AI is automating versus what it's leaving on the table.

Morgan quit ChatGPT earlier this year and moved her work to Claude, and this episode explains why.

The Quit GPT movement picked up momentum in early 2025 after OpenAI's president Greg Brockman donated $25 million to a Trump super PAC and launched a $125 million lobbying initiative targeting any state that tries to regulate AI. Then came reports that ChatGPT tools were being used by ICE, and the news that when the Pentagon pushed AI companies to remove limits on surveillance and autonomous weapons decisions, Anthropic said no and OpenAI said yes.

Nuria and Morgan unpack what Anthropic's red lines actually were, what Sam Altman has said since, and the broader question of who should regulate AI if governments are too entangled with the billionaires building it.

It's the question every medical writer is quietly asking: if AI cuts your project time in half, does your rate have to follow?

Nuria gives her full answer, and it's a two-part one, depending on who's asking. She makes the case that CME rates have been flat since 2023 while inflation has not, that efficiency gains belong to the writer, and that clients aren't actually paying for hours at a keyboard. They're paying for two decades of scientific and clinical knowledge that no model can replicate.

She also talks about what efficiency gains can actually do for quality, the Overton window shifting on what's possible in a deliverable, and why the real question isn't rates today but how you position yourself when the gap between fast writers and slow ones narrows even further.

A Reuters report on botched surgeries involving AI-assisted medical devices is making the rounds, and it raises some genuinely uncomfortable questions.

Nuria and Morgan dig into the details: an AI navigation tool used in sinus surgery that allegedly failed to identify a patient's carotid artery, leading to a stroke, and an FDA report on AI software for prenatal ultrasounds wrongly labelling fetal structures.

Morgan brings her experience consulting for intraoperative AI companies to explain what these tools actually do, what the FDA approval pathway for AI add-ons to existing devices looks like, and why the story may be missing important context. They also talk about what FDA cuts and regulatory disruption mean for patient safety, and what questions you might want to ask before you go under the knife.

Morgan puts on her resume writer and interview coach hat for this one. From applicant tracking systems to AI-conducted video interviews, the job market has been transformed faster than most people realise.

They look at a QZ article showing that 74% of companies say AI has improved hiring quality, but also that cover letters have been effectively devalued.

Morgan breaks down what actually matters now: networking, in-person interview prep, and how to handle an AI interview without falling apart.

This episode explores how, despite the promise of efficiency, AI can actually increase the cognitive load and volume of work for healthcare professionals. 

As medical systems grapple with physician shortages and mounting burnout, AI has shifted from a speculative tool to a practical necessity, yet it brings a "tipping point" where frontline clinicians must manage new diagnostic and administrative complexities.

Fresh from the ACEHP Annual Conference, Nuria and Morgan break down what three years of AI as the hottest conference topic actually looks like in practice.

They dig into the longitudinal survey showing widespread adoption without training, the Great AI Debate, and a standout session on whether AI avatars should replace standardised patients.

Plus: an honest conversation about efficiency gains, burnout, and whether AI is actually buying us back any time.

We’ve been told AI mushes ideas together like a human brain, but new research suggests it might be memorizing your data word-for-word.

We discuss the "photographic memory" of LLMs, what it means for the future of copyright law, and why your privacy settings are more important than ever.
