Dear Editor,This interest in the future of academic medicine is greatly welcome. Academic medicine offers the privilege to be part of two noble traditions: the pursuit of truth through science and caring for the sick through medicine. The main challenge to its future at present is, in my opinion, the perhaps less noble tradition of bureaucracy.

Dubbed SpaceCows, the large-scale remote herd management system is supported by the Australian government's Smart Farming Partnership initiative and combines AI and satellite use.Local rangers and stockmen chase and catch the speedy animals to attach solar-powered GPS tags. The tag data is directly transmitted to a space-based satellite system at an altitude of 650 km for up to two years or until the tags fall.

Methane, a greenhouse gas, accounts for about 20 percent of global emissions. It’s also 25 times stronger than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere. Methane contributes to ozone air pollution, and it is linked to one million premature deaths every year. The UN estimatesthat meeting methane reduction targets would result in fewer hospitalizations and deaths, fewer lost work hours and prevent 25 million tonnes of crop losses. Reducing our methane emissions is crucial to global health.
