Huge thanks to everyone who made the Festival such a brilliant night. Here’s to the sparks — big and small — that keep us going. Whether you’re outdoors amongst nature or finding a quiet moment at home, I hope you discover something today worth celebrating. Here's one of mine! ✨

For me, it was hearing the crowd’s energy and seeing fireworks light the night sky. For you, it might be a walk outside, a chat with a friend, or simply resting when you need to. Whatever shape they take, those small victories deserve to be celebrated.

If you’re having a rough day, please know this: progress isn’t about “carrying on as normal”. It’s about noticing and celebrating the little wins — a moment of laughter, finishing a task, enjoying a view. Small sparks of joy matter and can change the feel of a whole day.

What you don’t always see behind the microphone is that I live with a progressive heart condition. It’s unpredictable, exhausting and mentally challenging. Yet standing there on Saturday, part of the atmosphere and joy, reminded me how powerful it is to keep finding things that lift you up.

Thank you - they were great, weren't they? Yes, that's exactly the kind of thing we are hoping to do. 🙂

Thanks to @thebhf.bsky.social funding, #CureHeart Labs progress is real - though breakthroughs take time. Genuine partnership between patients and enthusiastic scientists is building practical hope for better treatments. #CureHeart #BHF #PatientEngagement #PPIE #GeneTherapy

We also heard about BOLD #MRI, which measures heart muscle oxygen use and could detect early changes before standard echo or #CMR. I was really excited by this (typical physicist 😄). This imaging technique could help diagnose and monitor #cardiomyopathy earlier and more accurately.👇

CureHeart is developing ASOs - molecules that “switch off” faulty genes at the RNA stage. 🤯 Their effects can be reversed if needed, adding safety. Delivery systems are becoming more targeted, making heart-specific therapy more realistic.👇

So today's decision by the UK's Supreme Court is difficult to absorb. I fear it will empower those taking aim at #trans folk.

It's a bizarre and scary state of affairs that we find ourselves in.

I am #pansexual... I don't really "see" a person's sex or gender. I don't mean that in a demeaning way. It's more that throughout my life, I've always seen the person and that's what has attracted me, irrespective of their sex or gender identity.

Mega! Imagine if you inflated it and then squashed it... whoopus flatusbread maximus.
