Really sad to hear of the passing of Gordon Sparks. We chatted to him last year and he was a really awesome guy to talk to.
Cheers @SparksyOnRadio, we're wishing your family all the best.

I thought I would share some more information about the book I am writing.
Do any of you remember the small comic I released in 2020 for Dyspraxia Awareness Week?
Well with the help of Jessica Kingsley Publisher's I am creating a full length comic style book on #dyspraxia!
Excitingly, I got good news about a grant today. If you are interested in a year-long postdoc developing and testing a VR tool for children with DCD, get in touch (and tell your friends!)
