he was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer three years ago. it can affect cells in several organs of the body, including the liver. it in several organs of the body, including the liver.— including the liver. it turns our including the liver. it turns your life — including the liver. it turns your life into _ including the liver. it turns your life into a _ your life into a roller—coasters, just absolutely terrifying. you don't know how long you've got whatsoever.— whatsoever. peter's liver tumours _ whatsoever. peter's liver tumours are _ whatsoever. peter's liver tumours are so - whatsoever. peter's liver tumours are so small - whatsoever. peter's liver| tumours are so small and widespread, cannot be removed through surgery. he had several rams of radiation therapy and chemotherapy but these took a heavy toll on him.— heavy toll on him. fatigue, ener: heavy toll on him. fatigue, energy levels, _ heavy toll on him. fatigue, energy levels, really - heavy toll on him. fatigue, | energy levels, really heavily hit, they basically said i was not responding to the chemo. but then, peter was offered the chance to undergo a new cancer treatment at st james as hospital in leeds. histotripsy is a type of focused ultrasound which destroys tissue inside the body, completely noninvasively. it's much more precise than treatments which use heat or radiation, meaning it can better treat tumours which are small and widespread in vital organs like the liver.

1:37 am
tumour cells in rodents look like before histotripsy. but look at them after. the changing colour shows the immune system has been stimulated to destroy tumour cells. the hopeful liver trial is investigating how and why histotripsy triggers this response and how reliably it can be seen in humans. two out of eight patients in a small initial study had this effect. that is, yeah, what i'm really hoping for is that you get the immune response and it starts to clear up all of the things in the liver.— in the liver. cancer expert take histotripsy _ in the liver. cancer expert take histotripsy could - in the liver. cancer expert take histotripsy could be l in the liver. cancer expert| take histotripsy could be a significant breakthrough. would be potentially — significant breakthrough. would be potentially game _ significant breakthrough. would be potentially game changing i be potentially game changing for a lot of cancer patients. you don't need an invasive treatment of the toxic drugs that we may use a standard chemotherapy so you could have an example where you use histotripsy to stimulate the immune system and then you come in with the immune activating drugs and they might be able to then finish off the tumour. but there are _ then finish off the tumour. but there are some _ then finish off the tumour. but there are some concerns. it. then finish off the tumour. but i there are some concerns. it may release bits — there are some concerns. it may release bits of _ there are some concerns. it may release bits of cancer _ there are some concerns. it may release bits of cancer in -

be adaptable to almost any part of the body. what we are doing in the liver might be the most challenging. deep, it moves and those are potential limitations of what were doing but we've overcome those and we feel that everything we do gets easier. there are also early trials separate from histrosonics's investigating whether histotripsy can work on other parts of the body. peter's cancer is now stable but still has other tumours in his body and he is waiting to see whether histotripsy stimulates an immune response before exploring other treatment options. i exploring other treatment 0 tions. ., exploring other treatment 0 tions. ~ .. exploring other treatment otions. ~ ., ., ., options. i think no matter what the outcome — options. i think no matter what the outcome of _ options. i think no matter what the outcome of immune - the outcome of immune responses, i think it's going to be pretty dramatically life changing anyway, just for the removal of that lesion. knowing that that's gone is a huge relief. . . ,

1:41 am
because you can see the others anyway but it gives you a starting community of people who are more likely to be sharing the same sort of stuff that you're interested in as well. by the way, you don't tweet here, you toot. 0ne well. by the way, you don't tweet here, you toot. one of the attractions of this platform is that it is decentralised. no—one person or company owns mastodon. it forms a sort of collective network, they are all owned by individuals in different organisations. it means you can be at the whim of whoever owns the server and if that goes down, so does your account. you can switch servers if you want to but people are saying it's quite a fact. is also the issue of moderation, because it is not centrally want one, mastodon moderation differs from server to server and so have none —— quite a faff. it's free to use but some of the hosts asked for donations because they do not get paid. it's what called open source software, a little bit geeky and has been developed by those who have it knowledge and you

atomico house where spencer and i are exploring its green credentials. 0n the surface what is going on in this building can seem pretty low—tech. there are windows open if you get hot, there are lights that can be turned on because they are not sensors on them. and each room has one of these dials. the temperature is set to what it needs to be to be carbon neutral. so you only turnit be carbon neutral. so you only turn it down or up if you really, really need to. thus there is something interesting going on with the walls. in the meetin: going on with the walls. in the meeting rooms _ going on with the walls. in the meeting rooms there - going on with the walls. in the meeting rooms there is - going on with the walls. in the meeting rooms there is a - going on with the walls. in the l meeting rooms there is a phase change material where they are exposed and that will absorb heat into the material, and then when it is not occupied it will dissipate that heat back into the room.— into the room. sensors all around the _ into the room. sensors all around the building - into the room. sensors all around the building are i around the building are collecting masses of data and thatis collecting masses of data and that is all being collated into one place. to make sure that the building is really doing the building is really doing thejob that it the building is really doing the job that it is meant to be. creating graphs on energy use and c02 explain a lot about the

about the tech sector anymore, because every company, when we talk about sustainability, when we talk about companies that are going to have a long duration, they need to be technology companies. and this is about the global movement of entrepreneurship which is happening everywhere, and it is fantastic, it should not be one place being —— beating another, it should be happening everywhere.— it should be happening everywhere. you are an entrepreneur, - everywhere. you are an entrepreneur, you i everywhere. you are an entrepreneur, you have everywhere. you are an i entrepreneur, you have met a load of entrepreneurs, what makes a good entrepreneur? it is a good question, and the hardest question to know. we are meeting a lot of entrepreneurs, we always say, is this the one? we don't know, ask us in ten years. it is impossible. but you have to have grit, passion, perseverance. and they need to be so passionate about their field, that they want to disrupt or build, they really inherently understand it. and they need to be able to articulate their strategy and they need to be a leader so they need to be a leader so they can get people to follow
