Ar ddiwrnod y Cadoediad, rydym yn anrhydeddu dewrder, ymrwymiad a dewrder ein Lluoedd Arfog a'n cyn-filwyr, gan gofio'r rhai sydd wedi colli eu bywydau mewn gwrthdaro.

Tonight's reading in #MBA land. This is tough, but I think something is going in my brain. I feel like I'm back at school learning formulas again!

Went to see #Six last night in Cardiff and it was fantastic. This woman was the unexpected star of the show. She was doing the BSL signing and looked like she was living her best life. Legend.

Part of the problem with having a Law masters degree is that if you put LLM after your name people think you're referencing AI 😆

Im not a bot- honestly!

Interesting to chat with @peredurplaidas.bsky.social this morning about health care in Wales.

Personally, I think that building on the progress made already will be important in the coming years.

There are good foundations in place, especially #Marmot - reducing health

I wrote this quite a while ago now, but its always good to think about how accessible our language is in research and the barriers that can affect people's confidence to engage with it.

A little over 9 years ago I became a research nurse. Something had always attracted me to research but I think it is fair to say that I didn’t really have much of an idea of what I was steppi…

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

My latest offering. Talking about the creative process and the role thinking plays for me.

I don't have all the answers yet, but I stand very firmly in it's defence!

What an absolute honour and privilege it was to attend the #AneurinBevanUHB #PhillipineIndependenceDay celebration event.

What an uplifting and joyful event, we are so lucky to benefit from the richness that comes from diversity in our workforce in the Health Board.

Been trying to capture the sound of this owl a few times now and finally I managed it!

I can hear at least 2 calling to each other and it seems one is a young bird from the Merlin bird app data.
