Today is #InternationalDayOfOlderPersons, a day to reflect on the health challenges faced by older adults and the research that supports healthy aging.

Great to be at the Kidney Research UK Driving Discoveries meeting in Bristol this week. Lots of wonderful research and work on show so far. Looking forward to the Early Careers Forum this afternoon!

🎂 Data, but make it delicious 🍰 As a joke, I searched for a dataset about The Great British Bake Off… and guess what? There’s an R package called `bakeoff`. So naturally, I baked up a quick analysis. Here’s what I found: --- #GBBO #GreatBritishBakeOff #DataScience

Enjoying some downtime at the moment. Reading. Running between shade. Melting in the heat. All good stuff. Here's a snap from our day trip to Castell de Santa Bàrbera.
