I’m reading my audiobook because @PenguinUKBooks say I have a “nice, sleepy voice”. Don’t listen whilst driving / operating heavy machinery.

Me ha encantado leer referencias a Thomas Lynch en el libro de @BrunaHusky "La ridícula idea de no volver a verte".
La charla de Mr Lynch, director de funeraria y escritor, fue la que más me impresionó en el @DotMDConf de 2014. Tomé pocas notas.

Astonishing.
Since @TEDTalks posted my talk about 'What Happens As We Die?' to their home page yesterday, it's already clocked up 15k views.
People DO want better information - so please pass it on.
I'm delighted that TED has chosen to spread this idea. ted.com/talks/kathryn_mannix…
