Jimmy is 80 years old, lives with vascular dementia and has three children. This #FathersDay he shares with us what it’s like being a father, and grandfather, whilst living with dementia. If you need support or advice visit bit.ly/3Ny9AJt, or call 0333 150 3456. 💙


On a scale of 1-10, how much would this freak my guests out if I had it on my living room wall? #neuroscience #Science #art

I will be running (I hope) the Great North Run to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society. Dementia has always been significant to me as the main focus of my degree and volunteering. Any support would be massively appreciated. Thank you! justgiving.com/fundraising/Pi…


I have just registered for the Great North Run 2020 Time to get the running shoes on!🏃‍♀️alzheimersevents.org.uk/ps/event/Great… via @alzheimerssoc

I 🧡 podcasts. 🎧 If you do too, here are 15 recommendations (in no particular order) for podcasts about writing, research and academic life. A thread. 🧵 #AcademicChatter #ECRchat #PostDoc

The fantastic @AlzResearchUK explaining what my research is about! #bloodbrainbarrier #dementia #AlzheimersDisease 🧠👩🏼‍🔬🔬

Our brains have a layer of cells called the blood brain barrier that protect it🧠 In diseases that cause dementia, this barrier can become damaged & leaky. @FHMcLean is studying how we can stop this happening! 🔬 #MeetOurScientists Find out more 👇 alzheimersresearchuk.org/research-proje…

Xhima et al. show that non-invasive delivery of a TrkA agonist to the brain using MRI-guided focused ultrasound promotes enhanced cholinergic function, neurogenesis and cognitive recovery in a preclinical model of Alzheimer’s disease. bit.ly/3RvCLMt

I want to tell a story. When I was in like 3rd grade, I went with my mom while she dropped some drugs off (yes, she was). Anyways. She left me in the car. This guys comes out to “watch” me and it’s just me and him. He looks over and asks. “You don’t know what a haiku is, do you?”

It is a pretty cool coincidence that the human brain contains around the same number of neurons as there are stars in the Milky Way.
