Our commentary written by @ClaireDurrant1 @TSpiresJones and I is now online! We discuss a new antibody against oligomeric tau, that showed efficacy in both cellular and mouse models, following intranasal delivery (in the mice not the cells lol).

A piece I wrote in 2012 offering a Manchester United perspective on the Hillsborough disaster on this day in 1989. It was published in the @FCUnitedMcr match day programme to show solidarity with those campaigning for justice ✊ #jft97 nowtmuchtosay.wordpress.com/…

🚨PhD alert!🚨 Come work with us in Exeter on an exciting project looking into gene regulation in Dementia with Lewy Bodies.
We are recruiting a PhD student to work with myself, @EPishva and @Josiaharvey exploring the role of microRNAs in Dementia with Lewy Bodies in @Dementia_Omics at @uniofexeHLS, funded by the Charles Wolfson Trust! Closing date is 7th April!

Really pleased to have passed my viva and couldn't have done it without the great support of my supervisors, especially @katielunnon. The rest of the @Dementia_Omics lab got me here too. An amazing bunch of people

"Hostile" is an inappropriate way to describe domestic & sexual abuse charities in stakeholder mapping, but especially in this case.
We have worked on our football campaign for over 10 years, & work with both clubs & orgs, on an issue that is prevalent throughout our society.
NEW @TheAthleticFC
🚨Manchester United’s plan to bring back Mason Greenwood included listing football pundits, politicians & journalists and categorising if they would be hostile or supportive. Domestic violence charities were assumed “hostile”

1 in 3 names are missing on the #Lionesses shirts tonight, representing the 1 in 3 of us born in the UK today who will develop dementia.
Tonight’s match was dedicated to @alzheimerssoc, raising vital funds to those devastated by dementia.

"Bullying is a means for mediocre scientists to rise to the top. Some star academics reached their position because they are bullies, not in spite of it." - Excellent piece about bullying in academia (and really any other professional environment). nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

Cheers to @Josiaharvey from @UniofExeter for bringing home a neuroscience grant to perform a whole transcriptome assay. Josh aims to shed light on Alzheimer’s disease using spatial transcriptomics on GeoMx DSP. 🎖️
Check out GeoMx RNA assays here 👉bit.ly/40Ltkgn
Quick dash over to the main hall for @Josiaharvey presenting on machine learning methods to predict cognitive outcomes in PD. Brilliant collaboration with Rick Reijnders @MaastrichtU. A great way to round off #ADPD2023 @Dementia_Omics
@EPishva @UofE_Research
Jazz 👐
Great talk in the final session of the day at #ADPD2023 from the boss of @Dementia_Omics , @katielunnon on psychosis in AD. Amazing to listen to as always
Just given my second talk of the month, this time at #ADPD2023. This stuff is kinda fun
