Always an exciting day when you get images like these ✨⭐️
I have thoroughly enjoyed writing for @pet-bionews.bsky.social the last 6 weeks as part of their BioNews writing scheme!
This week I had the pleasure of reviewing a seminar on the ethics of organoid and chimaera research 🧠🧫.
See the link below to read!

Look at these beautiful organoids grown by @sophie0g.bsky.social ! Who needs fireworks when we can look down the microscope at these stunners 😎
A woman seeking to understand why she has two genetic conditions, despite no family history, discovered that her mother’s #fertility doctor was her biological father. Sophie Goldsmith writes in BioNews: www.progress.org.uk/fertility-fr...

What a treat to share a walkies and a BBQ with my colleagues.
The rain in the background caught us on the way home. But that’s normal for a British bbq, right?
Feat. @sophie0g.bsky.social presenting her organoid work! 🧠
Thrilled to share that I passed my PhD upgrade viva yesterday!Extremely grateful for all the support I’ve had from my supervisors & team who have helped me get to this point & a big thank you to my upgrade panel for the insightful feedback & discussion. 🧫🧠 @selinawray.bsky.social
New paper from the lab, under the leadership of @celarber.bsky.social !
Super exciting that The Brain at Rest is out! Was a huge privilege to be Joe’s research assistant for this book, searching through all the research papers & learning so much in the process! Huge thank you to Joe for this opportunity to help out on such a fab project! Go give it a read ☺️
Had a fantastic time at the FTDUK conference yesterday in Edinburgh ⭐️🧠so many brilliant talks - exciting to hear about the cutting edge FTD research & clinical trials underway!
A recording of the talks will be available on the GENFI website in the coming weeks😀 watch the talks from last year here: www.genfi.org/participate/...
Was a huge pleasure to co-host the 2nd GENFI Participant Webinar on Friday! Nearly 100 attendees and a fantastic lineup of speakers—thank you to everyone who joined and to all the speakers for their brilliant talks! Followed by a hugely informative participant engagement board roundtable!
Fab first day at the Stem Cell Models of Neurodegeneration conference in Edinburgh! 🧠 #SCMND So many exciting talks, and I really enjoyed presenting my poster with the work from the first year of my PhD! Looking forward to the rest of the conference! 🧫🧠
This was so powerful - few of us can imagine the reality of having a family devastated by familial FTD - and the response of Jordan/Cian to their own risk is incredibly inspiring. Find them in instagram/TikTok as the FTD Brothers and follow their story…!
Hello BlueSky. One of our cofounders, Linde Jacobs, is profiled in The New York Times today. It’s a moving snapshot of what an FTD family goes through. Help us fight for therapies that can cure dementia for under 60s. #ftd #aftd #dementia #tau #alzheimers #mapt

Feat. @celarber.bsky.social @sophie0g.bsky.social @lecrawf0.bsky.social and many more not in the bluesky yet :)
Fantastic talk yesterday from @bowleslab.bsky.social discussing tau & iPSC models 🧠🧫 & was lovely to meet you after! ☺️
Excited to share the lab's recent publication. Granulins are critical for lysosome function and brain health to prevent neurodegeneration. Our data suggest that granulin peptides could be used to treat frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease.

📈 (50 more than 2 days ago!) 📈
A great mix of Profs/PIs/Post-docs/PhDs/Technicians.
Please re-post so it can reach a wider audience as I'm sure there are more of us out there ☺️🦋

Very happy to share our paper on Familial British Dementia (FBD) which is online today!
Using patient iPSC,we show the amyloidogenic peptide in this disease -ABri -is mainly produced by microglia…
Never heard of FBD? You won’t be the only one… explainer incoming!
