This is such deeply sad news. It has been a joy watching Lea do such brilliant things for mental health research as CEO of MQ. He's going to be hugely missed and my thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues.

Very much looking forward to Wellcome supporting this conference. A vital chance to come together and discuss the role of research in tackling climate change.

My New Year’s resolution to to finally get Kate to allow me to go and see her do stand-up because if she’s half as funny on stage as she is in the office then it’s going to be brilliant. Also, what a show name. Five stars.

I'm so pleased to see Fiona Sturges highlight the wonder of Heavyweight Podcast and Jonathan Goldstein. The 'Lenny' episode from this season is one of the most moving things I have ever heard. I will be forever baffled as to Spotify's decision to cancel it.

My goodness. This is really something.

For all you former kids that hid in libraries…
