"I used to sit down and just let my mind drift. Most of the time a useless activity, but occasionally it would lead to something that was useful. That sort of dreamlike state was very important in my life."

Richard Robson tells us how he accesses a restful state-of-mind in which ideas flow in this episode of our podcast – Nobel Prize Conversations.

We also speak with Robson's co-laureates Omar Yaghi and Susumu Kitagawa about how they changed chemistry forever by letting their minds wander to unplanned places.

@British_Airways Your driver has left the bus unattended for 15 minutes a boss full of children and adults and no one could open the door if someone fell sick. This is unacceptable a bus should not be left unattended for that long.

[Gözde Özakıncı @Gozde786]

@British_Airways we are literally still stuck on a bus. What’s happening? This is ridiculous

[Gözde Özakıncı @Gozde786]

@British_Airways we are stuck in a bus on terminal 5 because the terminal door does not work. Literally stuck. What is happening? Getting claustrophobic here and will miss flights.

A neurosurgeon was supported by Artificial Intelligence (AI) during live surgery for the first-time to help protect the sight of a man having a brain tumour removed.

The AI analysed the live surgical video feed in real time highlighting risky areas to avoid while removing as much tumour as safely possible.

The clinical trial using the AI technology was funded by a NIHR Doctoral Fellowship and supported by the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre at UCLH.

It was a great pleasure to contribute to this Guardian “The Experts” piece on what death can teach us about how to live.

I’m not sure anyone can ever truly be an expert on mortality, but here are my personal top 4 lessons, distilled from everything my patients have taught me as palliative care doctor:

1. Prioritise people, not things

“As you approach the end of life, all the irrelevant stuff is stripped away. No one cares about how much power they had, how big their house is, how fancy their car is, how much status they had at work. What they care about is the people they love. The way to live a life that is rich and deeply fulfilling is to build human connections. That matters more than anything else.”

2. Don’t worry about signs of ageing

“The wrinkles, grey hairs & menopausal body I now possess are all things that society wants us to feel distressed about - because they want to make money selling products to try to fix our distress. All of those stigmas associated with ageing are a blessing and a privilege to have. Anybody who is old enough to feel anxious about those things should be saying: ‘I am so lucky. I have lived long enough to creak when I get out of bed in the morning.’”

3. Connect with other living things

“The richness of life comes from our relations with other living creatures, human & non-human. It could be animals or birds or plants, but it is living connections with the wider world that give life meaning. The more you can pour yourself into those connections, the more likely you are to have a deep sense of contentment & happiness.”

4. Try to stay healthy – but don’t let that limit your life

“We try to stay healthy so we can function as well as we can for as long as we can. But ascetic lives are pretty hard and constrained. That is the opposite of life. Life is something to savour. So, don’t beat yourself up for things that are often construed as minor sins of living, like eating delicious food & drinking beautiful wine. We are sensual creatures & celebrating that is part of living life richly. Health means enjoying life, not just living it for as long as possible.”
