James Lovell & NASA’s Apollo 13 team: a masterclass in bearing the odds. I always try to bring the best lessons I learn back to my career in medicine. Wrote the last lines of script for #13minutestothemoon S2 in Spring 2020, after the UK’s 1st Covid wave. A kernel of hope. Thank you Jim. #AdAstra

Farewell & thanks for everything Captain James Lovell. Apollo 8 Command Module Pilot - arguably NASA’s boldest mission - Commander & survivor of the ill fated Apollo 13. I’ve met few people more inspiring or more generous with their legacy. God Speed, safe flight. #AdAstra #NASA

50 years have passed since “Jaws” the movie was first released. Which scares me way more than any giant shark ever could.

Honoured to have been part of #ASM25CNS Fantastic meeting. Caught up with friends old & new. Learned many things. Inexplicably went for an early morning run. Congrats to the new #ANZCA fellows. Thanks for the hospitality!

Doesn’t feel like 5 years already since we had to learn to don PPE, to work in it all day & make it last because there wasn’t enough of it. People have different opinions about what did & didn’t happen. I can only say that in 27 years of practice it was the worst thing I’ve ever seen, every day.

NASA’s space shuttle is the same age today as RAF Spitfires were when it first launched in 1981 🤯

Our new podcast #16sunsets, all about how the space shuttle came to be, is here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1...

Worked with this crew through the thick & thin of Covid over MSTeams. Met them in real life for the first time this week after nearly 4 years! Public Health England’s Joint Modelling Team for the pandemic. We went through a lot together, has been a special couple of days.

A massive thank you to all who tuned in & turned up last night to celebrate the launch of #16Sunsets. Had guests from as far afield as the US, France and Germany (and Wales)!! Was a fun evening. Hope you enjoyed it too. Here’s the show if you haven’t heard it yet! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1...

After they retired from service the crew of STS 61-C became a Daft Punk tribute band. #16Sunsets
