My first paper from my @LeverhulmeTrust project on the Geographies of Digital Health is out now! shorturl.at/ktDOU

Had a fantastic day at the @Broad_er Winter School talking about mental mapping. Wonderful to see a new cohort of scholars taking mapping and visual methods in new directions.
Thanks for having me!

Sajid Javid says we need to pay £20 for a GP appointment and £66 to go to A&E as a way to solve the NHS funding crisis. He’s wrong because there are so many better options in my new report on funding the NHS. A thread…..

Yet another great day @RLWC2021 with @MaddyCThompson @LeagueTonga @cookislandsrl with Tonga outclassing the Cook islanders. We went as neutral but chose our favourite Haka so Tonga fans we were. Nice to meet #ukumataai cousin (past @ThunderRugby) too. #loverugbyleague
