I mean, I know you've been doing this research in Ukraine where so many people have lost limbs and there's an urgent need for this kind of treatment there. But could it work with other pain management for things other than amputations, like simple back pain, things like that?
Potentially, the potential's there.

Yeah, you mentioned the north there and hardly any aid has got there over the past few months, has it? What sort of conditions are you finding there?

So there are many challenges facing aid workers trying to bring in aid and also distributing that aid to pretty desperate people. One of the challenges, I guess, would be things like unexploded ordnance. Is that a concern you have for your workers?

Some of this does sound quite frightening that we're all walking around with these viruses in our brain that could be triggered and cause Alzheimer's. But I suppose there is hope in all of this as well, because it means we understand the origins of that disease better. And I mean, is there a chance that you could even treat any potential viruses, say, after a head injury or something?

So just explain the shock waves. How long did that go on for and what was that like? And also you mentioned the avalanches, but I presume those are still a threat to you at the moment.

Well, that's very dangerous. I mean, you talk about ice, but the kind of ice, the impacted hard ice that would be there raining down on you could do you some serious injury.

I have to ask you this. It's incredibly dangerous what you do. Why do you do it?
