If you're near Manchester and, like me, your mental age is close to your shoe size, this is an absolute must-see. The exhibition runs here before heading to the @sciencemuseum.org.uk in London, March 2027.

With a lot of help from Dr Big Brain, it's immersive, hands-on, and genuinely fun. Huge congratulations to my colleagues, not least Sally MacDonald, BBC Children's and Education, Lion Television, and Scholastic for this incredible collaboration.

And there are answers to all those questions you really want to ask an astronaut: What does a star smell like? How do astronauts use the bathroom?

Yes, you can get to see a real space toilet, touch an actual Moon meteorite, and view astronaut Tim Peake's headset from his 2015 mission, which is on public display for the first time! The interactive elements are fab - from programming rovers to being spaghettified. Gulp.

This groundbreaking exhibition, put together by my colleagues Steven Leech, Andrea Lathrop, Felicity Paynter, David Mansell and many more, brings the beloved BBC Horrible Science TV series to life in spectacular fashion for seven year olds and upwards.

These discussions around digital twins, from cells and tissues to whole organs and bodies, mirror the themes explored in Virtual You, the book I co-authored with
Peter Coveney press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

There were many more speakers, including Steven Niederer, Irina Babina, Adelaide De Vecchi, Mihir Kelshiker, Ivana Knyght, Shera Chok and Amy Lochtie.

Grateful to Julia Manning, for a brilliant introduction , and to Alice Byram or bringing together an outstanding programme.

And Simao Laranjeira from UCL presented fascinating work (done with Rebecca Shipley) on nerve repair using computational modelling - demonstrating how digital twins can help optimise treatments.

Wahbi El Bouri from the University of Liverpool gave a great summary of why digital twins hold such transformative potential for personalised and preventive medicine.
