What a treat to meet the writer of one of my favourite books, especially as his new novel, The Catchers, is equally as brilliant! Thank you @XanBrooks for your company today, @madhatterbook for a gorgeous afternoon & @saltpublishing for the advance copy! #books #BookReview

Devastated to hear that Steve Silberman has died. Neurotribes was a game-changer for me in terms of my understanding of autism. I was fortunate to meet him in Oxford a few years ago, where he signed my treasured copy. Thank you Steve, the gratitude is all mine 🩵 #stevesilberman

Desert Island Discs on @BBCRadio4 this morning absolutely floored me. @robdelaney spoke so profoundly about the loss of his son. I must give credit, though, to @laurenlaverne for her sensitive & respectful interview. Managed to make national radio feel very intimate.

Delighted to welcome a group of students from @UTAustin to @UnicornOxford for the second year in a row. Our year 8 pupils did a sterling job as tour guides! Fascinating discussion about British and US education systems. Could have chatted all day! Go #longhorns! 🤘🦄

Rest in peace Donald Sutherland, my favorite role of his was the big hearted girl dad Mr Bennett. So much grace and tenderness in this performance, this scene makes me emotional every time.

Wonderful evening at the @DialogueSociety Iftar Dinner 2024, held at The Oxford Academy. The theme of "Peace & Unity" was spread by the fantastic speakers who represented a range of faiths, ages, and professions, but who shared the same message. #dialogueiftars #peaceandunity

Adored this book @JoeShute. Really opened my eyes to the natural world around me and gave me much food for thought, especially in respect of what we are losing through #Climatechange #ClimateCrisis (longer review on my bookstagram the.precious.words)
