A quotation from Shakespeare

VIOLA: Alas, our frailty is the cause, not we!
   For such as we are made of, such we be.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Twelfth Night, Act 2, sc. 2, l. 31ff (2.2.31-32) (1601)

@macesari

Also working on #Frailty and #IntrinsicCapacity, and on preventing the disabling cascade, but more from a practical POV then theoretical, as I work through my fourth and final quarter century.

Hi! Time for an updated #introduction!

I'm Matteo — a geriatrician and researcher.
Professor of Geriatrics (on leave) at the University of Milan, now at WHO working on healthy #ageing and care for older people.

My research focuses on #Frailty and #IntrinsicCapacity, and on preventing the disabling cascade.

Working in #Geriatrics, #PublicHealth, or #aging research? Say "Hi!" and let me know what are you working on👇

Claims that medical AI is improving care must be backed by appropriate evidence

A quotation from Horace

Good Homer sometimes nods, which gives me a jerk —
But sleep may well worm its way into any long work!
 
                                                            [Et idem
indignor, quandoque bonus dormitat Homerus;
verum operi longo fas est obrepere somnum.]

Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 3 “Art of Poetry [Ars Poetica; To the Pisos],” l. 358ff (2.3.358-360) (19 BC) [tr. Palmer Bovie (1959)]
