I love my job. The @mrcbndu.ox.ac.uk opened its doors to Oxfordshire schools to tell them all about our exciting research. We quickly turned the students into "neurosurgeons" by getting them to "implant" DBS electrodes into jello brains! Our "targets" were strawberries in lieu of thalamic nuclei...

🔎 If you're around the JR Hospital in Oxford, swing by the World Sleep Day stand in the West Wing, where some of our researchers can tell you more about sleep! @ouhospitals.bsky.social

Good turnout for our public activies at the John Radcliffe Hospital on #WorldSleepDay @oxfordbrc.bsky.social @ndcnoxford.bsky.social @neuroplastics.bsky.social
