Very grateful for the opportunity to speak at @AlzResearchUK ECR Technical Showcase at KCL yesterday! I talked about two exciting technologies in blood biomarkers. Great to hear what techniques others are using to understand and tackle dementia.

Not how I wanted to attend the AD/PD conference (knee injury meaning I'm attending virtually) but very happy to be supporting my wonderful colleagues from afar. Great talk @immy_swift! #ADPD2023

Please RT. PhD students funded by @UKRI_News face a cash crisis. They are working full-time, yet earning less than living wage. With the rising cost of living and increasing pressure to deliver high quality research that benefits society, something needs to change. THREAD (1/10)

Had a wonderful evening at @pintofscience @Water_Rats, hearing about teenage brains and social media, topped off by winning a lovely glass through my superior pipetting skills during Pipette Wars

Here is the result of my @_ASCUS @InterSciEd art and science collaboration. I made this sculpture, based on the integrated omics research I do in my #PhD with @MarioniGroup, @EdinUni_IGC. Full pics in the thread below. 👇 #AcademicTwitter

My wish is that ‘respair’ will emerge from the forgotten pages of the dictionary and be on everyone’s lips in 2021: it means fresh hope and a recovery from despair. Happy New Year x

Why do so many people pull their masks down when on the phone...? If the mask obscures the volume, it's a negligible amount. When you're talking is when you need it on most, to protect others

An interesting insight into an older group's thoughts on Internet culture... Overhearing the middle aged consultants talking about the Karen meme. Most of them had no idea

I don’t understand how there will be 322 MPs going to sleep tonight knowing that they voted against an extension of free school meals that would help children like this. It is inhumane, cruel and truly heartbreaking.
The Tories yet again chose to go against @MarcusRashford appeal to feed hungry children like those in this video. Personally I think Angela Rayner describing them as scum is bang on.

White supremacy won’t die until White people see it as a White issue they need to solve rather than a Black issue they need to empathize with. – at Chicago, IL
