Exciting news as on Thursday I received an invitation to give some lectures at WEG! On Friday I attended a meeting at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge to review some data from a human patient clinical trial. Everyone is very excited as the breath collector and analyser we have developed looks to be able to tell the difference between healthy people, people with stable respiratory disease and those with exacerbations (ie. those with disease who are ill). It also only takes about five minutes to get a result from starting to collect the breath. We are also about to start trials in horses with one of the main Newmarket equine hospitals.

My second review of 'what's new in horse science' for the Horse Hero editorial section is now published, so I am expecting lots of feedback from you all! I regularly scan what papers are being published to keep up to date for my work, so the idea is for me to pick four or five interesting new papers and write a short piece about each for Horse Hero. With each update I’m also including a short "did you know", or exploding a myth section as well.
