The absolute highlight of my 2025 is now available on YouTube! Check out the "making of" mini-documentary and full performance of Antiviral Roller Skating at the @britsciassoc.bsky.social Festival earlier this year. My New Years resolution will be to do it all again in a different city! 👀

Health misinformation and disinformation are the biggest and most under prioritized threats to public health in the 21st century. They are eroding decades of progress in the control and spread of diseases in real time. If we do not address this like the existential threat it is, we risk everything!
