And that’s a wrap. A wonderful 2 weeks of events at @edbookfest - didn’t manage to get photos of all the events. Was too locked in 🤓 So many books to read, so little time. by @profdevisridhar

“Are we looking at longevity all wrong? 🌍

When we look at “Blue Zones” - places where people regularly live to 100 - we tend to focus on individual habits but instead is it the environment and policy that shape daily life?

In this special episode, recorded live at the Hay Festival, Chris and Xand are joined by Professor Devi Sridhar, Chair of Global Public Health at the University of Edinburgh, to look at the systemic changes needed to help us all live longer, healthier lives.

Lots of misinformation circulating now on hantavirus. If you’re interested in outbreak response & the steps in preparing and responding to potential pandemics- I’ve written a scientific take on it. Just skip over the Covid part and head to the last few chapters of the book. by @profdevisridhar

Starting & ending 2025 in the same way 💪 . Never feel guilty or selfish for taking the time to exercise esp over the holidays.

It’s actually a selfless act- you feeling better physically & mentally is better for your loved ones, community, employer, the health system. It’s your gift to the world 😀

I think this year’s motto has been: If all else fails, go to the gym. by @profdevisridhar
