New Year, new challenge, more science, let’s go!! 🔬🧠👩‍🔬

Watch the recording of our Salon session on working with brain tissue in #dementia research with Lauren Walker @laurenwalkerphd.bsky.social and Daniel Ruiz Gabarre. Catch up now in the Dementia Researcher Community: youtu.be/jep0nS7Y9rM

Delighted Newcastle Uni has been recognised for outstanding research in #DLB. Fantastic achievement and superb teamwork spanning 3 decades! Paving the way for better diagnostics, underlying mechanisms and ultimately treatments and a cure! 🧠 🔬

Had an excellent day at the Parkinson’s UK North East and Cumbria research day! Fantastic discussions with people with Parkinson’s and carers about brain changes we can see under the 🔬. A bit gutted we didn’t bump into Régis Le Bris

Exciting opportunity to work in the field of DLB research!

Looking forward to this!! 🧠 🔬

First run post broken foot. That was hard 🥵. At least there were pretty things to look at #Home #It’sGrimUpNorth

Excellent tips, particularly when University finances are tight and conference attendance may be limited!

Neuropath collaboration (friends) on a Saturday night in Newcastle

This is disappointing! The North-East produces exceptional research! I’ve had the privilege of working alongside world leaders in Lewy body dementia at Newcastle University. Transparency as to how these institutions were selected is definately needed!

Excellent showcase of the research in the ARUK Northern networks! Had a great day!

I’m delighted to share my editorial for the July issue @brain1878.bsky.social academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

I feel seen as an ECR dependant on grant funding for continued employment. Some excellent points raised in this blog, and interesting discussion about how research grants are funded. Very much worth a read.

All ready and raring to go at the #DiscoverFest. Come talk to us about about brains and dementia 🧠 🔬

Anyone else do a little dance when the student assignment you are marking hits all of the things you outlined in the brief and more? Maybe it’s just me 🤓

The love story continues, but I think I aged 10 years in that match 😁

Looking for some free family friendly activities on 7th June in Newcastle? The Discover festival has you covered! I’ll be there with activities about how to keep our brains healthy and changes that happen in dementia 🔬🧠 www.ncl.ac.uk/discover-fest/

Excellent opportunity to work on an exciting project with a fantastic scientist 🧬 🧠

Great paper suggesting a relationship between asyn and nuclear DNA damage. It was a pleasure to contribute a small amount towards this work

Exciting work form Borghammer's lab describing sympathetic and parasympathetic involvement and brain vs body first progression in #LBD #PD #DLB further read in bit.ly/41N13Z2

We set aside 20min in class for a Q&A on funding a lab, federal funding, IDCs, and ongoing policy shifts. Was definitely not enough time. Such great and insightful questions Probably could have taken the whole class Anyway. 10/10 would recommend

Excellent opportunity to work with a great scientist!

Just a few days let’s to apply for our #PhD opportunity with @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social #LBD doctoral training network!

Live from Amsterdam at #ILBDC2025, part-two of our highlights podcasts - host Dr Sterre de Boer sits down with experts Dr Lauren Walker, Dr Felipe Botero Rodriguez & Salomón Salazar-Londoño to discuss #LewyBodyDementia research. pod.fo/e/2a7d15

1/ Super excited to see the first of our Lewy body Dementia Doctoral Training Network studentships for 2025 are now out to advert! You can find details of them below 👇 More to come!
