Hey Dan, I’ve been a @history-hit.bsky.social subscriber for a few years now, and love it! However, I remain unable to listen to your pod ad-free! I’ve requested RSS links through the HH app and then emailing HH Support, but either they don’t come through or work. Any help please?! Thanks, Ross

I had a great couple of days at the BSHM Congress earlier this week in Leeds. Such a range of fantastic talks and such friendly delegates. It was great to present some of our recent research too as a poster.

This is brilliant progress, but other cancer research needs funding too. My Mom died 9 months after her lung cancer diagnosis, my grandad 14 months after his. My dad’s brother died 6 months after a pancreatic cancer diagnosis & my cousin (his daughter) died 11 months after her brain tumour diagnosis

Oh Sicily. From your Ancient Greek theatres and temples, to your Roman Mosaics and Gladiator Arenas. From your Medieval Castles to your Baroque Churches - one of which has columns as a former Temple to Athena. Great weather, food and lovely running routes. What a holiday 🇮🇹😊

Great NIHR talk yesterday evening by Dr Peter Rimmer from UHB. His clinical research detailed how changing the microbiome using a faecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can help treat inflammatory bowel disease. Brilliant 👏🔬🦠 #biomedical #IBD #gastroenterology #microbiology #CPD

Last night I did my third ever fell race, this time up Caer Caradoc in Church Stretton. It was TOUGH, but so much fun and the views were stunning. The fell race community are so wonderful too ⛰️🌅
