First tulip we've grown in our little garden. After days of (im)patiently waiting, it's finally bloomed. Proud of this little beauty!
Today was the last meeting of the Work Together Project, following 6 months of working with our South Asian stroke survivor and carer collaborators to understand how we can better support participation in research. Grateful to all involved.. We've learned so much, now to put it into practice!

High blood pressure is the biggest risk factor for stroke.
This Stroke Prevention Day, we join @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social in encouraging everyone to have their blood pressure regularly checked. If your reading's high, healthy lifestyle changes and medication can often lower your risk of stroke.

Achromatopsia poster. It shows a drawing of glasses. In one lens you can see letters in all colours. In the other lens, the same letters are in black and white. At the bottom there are come colouring pencils. A cartoon character is pointing to the yellow pencil and says 'what colour is this?' another character is saying 'yellow'. At the top is a post-it note that says '22% of stroke survivors will have some form of achromatopsia'. The main text reads: "This refers to a difficulty recognising or perceiving colour. The world can appear in shades of grey, or just look more dull. This can make it hard to tell the difference between similar shades of colours such as yellow and green. Difficulties can be restricted to either the left or right side of vision, or can cover both sides. There is no cure for achromatopsia, but managing its symptoms can look like: asking others to point out the colours of things, wearing tinted lenses to help with light sensitivity, using technology like apps to identify colour"
