Have you seen a Bearded Fool in a UK woodland? We mean a fly, with a common name inspired by English folk tradition. It has a distinctive patch of white hairs behind its eyes. 🪰

Our latest paper is out in @WellcomeOpenRes! Rather than on #research, it is on best practices in a research #team & building a #PositiveResearchCulture in your #lab. Nurturing that culture is among the most impactful things you can do, here is how: 1/11

Are TAAR1 agonists viable as antipsychotic drugs?
GALENOS has published its first living systematic review (LSR) which collected and analysed data from different studies examining the effects of these medications.
1/3🧵
ALT On a dark blue background colourful text reads: 'What are TAAR1 agonists? Trace Amine-Associated Receptor 1 (TAAR1) agonists are a new class of drug which target receptors in the brain, namely the receptor of trace amines, a neuromodulator. This receptor somehow affects how dopamine is made and produced in the brain. Certain chemical messengers in the brain, such as dopamine, are believed to be associated with psychosis. It is thought that if TAAR1 agonists can change the levels of dopamine, they could improve symptoms of psychosis.'

Prof Dominic Kwiatkowski's final paper, exploring the thorniest challenges of malaria transmission, is posthumously published today.
His close collaborators and friends give their thoughts on this intellectually impressive work and its legacy.

wellcomeopenresearch.org/art… Very pleased to have our paper out w/ @WellcomeOpenRes, from my PhD. I conducted an ethnography across 4 different 'social prescribing' community groups (football, singing, gardening and reading), exploring mechanisms underlying their mental health impact
