Feel full of love, pride and gratitude after yesterday and hearing about the curiosity, compassion, commitment and generosity that characterised Dad’s career. As many said, the plaudits would have made him cringe himself inside out… which is why he meant so much to us all.
Saw this astonishing & beautiful piece by Sadiq Ali + Vee Smith w @CWheelsTheatre for our last show @edfringe. Could tell it would be special when they sauntered up their poles in the opening darkness.
Final performance today - catch it if you can!

Biggest #EMIRA symposium to date! Nottingham, Leicester & now Birmingham ILD patients, researchers and clinicians uniting to share their insights and move forward together to #CurePF! Inc @anmari_russell @amandatatler @LabHannan @Harvin_Der_Virk…
Consistently great questions from @ActionPFcharity’s Clare Hodkinson, bridging the science and patient perspectives.
Great representation at the molecular levels too from epigenomic insights of @DrRachClifford, genetic epidemiology (great tag-teaming from @LouiseVwain & @rjallen513). My group bringing the protein & structural dimension.

It’s great that the #EMIRA symposium was another huge success. We're thrilled that Clare was able to join you for the event. Bringing together those with lived experience, clinicians and researchers is vital for bringing about meaningful change.
A shift of pace for the afternoon: discussions on patient priorities & research themes, agreements & action points noted.
And so to the end of the 3rd, and final EMIRA meeting. 😮
We’re going pan-regional kids: from Offa’s Dyke to the Fens, from now on… it’s #MIRA time! 🎉
