It's always an amazing day, running (and celebrating) with my wonderful work family 😍 A rather hot and sweaty Saucony London 10K, but we all made it round with lots of smiles afterwards 🤗 Hopefully lots of money raised for The National Brain Appeal www.justgiving.com/page/the-nat...

What started out as a painting exercise at one of my brother's art classes became a joyful play with colours. "Meadow Riot": A little unhinged, but a lot of fun. I learn more with every stroke of the brush 😊 1/2

Finally finished my latest piece "Maggiore Birdie", inspired by the cheeky little guy who kept stealing Kenny's pizza crumbs when we were on holiday at Lake Maggiore, Italy last year. Guided by my little brother and art teacher Dhanraz Ramdharry 😊 dhanrazfineart.co.uk

I'm absolutely delighted that this paper is published, as part of the PhD work of Dr Louie Lee. It outlines a mixed methods evaluation of the Neuromuscular Bridges Self-management intervention using a hybrid feasibility-implementation design. Access it here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

On the right is a recently completed oil painting of a sunset, from my holiday seeing family in Mauritius last year: "Sunset Over Seggae". Here is a close up. I find painting mindful and it refreshes my thinking. All so important for the day job ☺️ 2/3

Science and creativity go hand in hand. I'm blessed to have a brother who is a portrait artist and teacher. He's helped me on my journey to rediscover my love of art. On the left is a charcoal drawing of a bust of Brutus from 2017, the start of that journey 1/3

I'm so delighted to have received a copy of the new book by Janet Deane: Doctorate. Finding your way as a healthcare professional in research. It's a fantastic mix of topic such as navigating the process, academic writing and defending your thesis in a viva. 1/4

One of the highlights of my career has been to supervise PhD studies for physiotherapists around the world. I struck gold with these two academically brilliant Doctoral fellows: Musambo Kapapa & (now Dr) Aljwhara Alangary. Honestly, a privilege to work with such talented women 1/2
