A quick run up Calton Hill before leaving Edinburgh…a beautiful city, especially at sunset!

🏴 Arrived into a very festive Edinburgh ahead of Science and Parliament tomorrow. It’s absolutely freezing, though you wouldn’t know it from the celebrations ringing out across the city after the football result ⚽️🎉

Learned a lot in Parliament this evening about challenges facing the UK food system - which is particularly relevant to the work @physoc.bsky.social is doing on sustainable nutrition and climate change.
Thanks to Parliamentary & Scientific Committee team and LGC.

Amazing new R&D space at Advanced Research Clusters in west London, which I visited last night for the @foundscitech.bsky.social event on delivering the life science sector plan. Fantastic discussion on action UK should take to turbo charge life science ecosystem. Look at the view from the terrace!

Really welcome today’s @ukhsa.bsky.social report on climate change & mental health. It shows how wide the impacts are & echoes work of @physoc.bsky.social & @wellcometrust.bsky.social trust calling for deeper understanding of how heat affects the body and brain - and how physiology can guide action.

We’ve launched the Phase One Report from our Global Climate and Health Summit: setting out a human-centred plan for climate and health.
Climate change harms people through their bodies. Heat, air pollution and poor nutrition push human physiology beyond its limits.

Huge congratulations to @marinaromanello.bsky.social and the team at @lancetcountdown.bsky.social for the successful UK launch of their 2025 report today. A phenomenal achievement again to bring such a huge body of research together in such a digestible way.

‘Bleak’. ‘Devastating’. ‘Destruction’. Grim words associated with the new Lancet Countdown report that reveals one person every minute dies from extreme heat. And deaths keep rising due to climate change.

London looking particularly pretty in the autumn sunshine today. But with the clocks going back this weekend, this will be the last time finishing work in daylight until spring 😬.

🥳Great evening in Parliament celebrating the launch of the South East Asia Health Policy Network. We heard powerful stories from communities affected by health impacts of climate change, alongside inspiring examples of resilience & determination. Thanks to Plymouth Uni for great event.

Can highly recommend the new ZooTown at @londonzoo.bsky.social. Isla enjoyed dressing up as a vet, zookeeper, builder and much more.

Physiology took centre stage at the World Health Summit today with a session highlighting the vital role physiological evidence and insight has in keeping people safe during extreme heat - from understanding how the body responds under stress to shaping practical measures that prevent harm. #WHS2025

One of the most interesting sessions at #WHS2025 today focused on global challenges to ensuring access to reliable, quality health information. The key question was how to embed quality indicators into policy, as well as considering the role of scientific journals. Looking forward to day 3 tomorrow!

Day 1 at the World Health Summit in Berlin! I’m here talking to partners and policymakers across global health about the role physiologists can play in shaping health responses that start with the science of how the body works. #WHS2025
