Come join us! We had some great feedback last year and this year is set to be even better :-)

Dislike this statement about AD by CARE programme grant invitation from @wellcomeleap.bsky.social and Lisa Mosconi. i) Commonplace misconception that "genetics = unmodifiable"... #episky #medsky

*NEW PREPRINT* Awesome work by Victoria Taylor-Bateman examining the effects of 46 different lipid-lowering, antihypertensive and anti-inflammatory drug targets on risk of vascular dementia diagnosis and several neuroimaging biomarkers of cerebrovascular pathology. A thread :-) shorturl.at/ecCD0

Awesome work by Dylan and a REALLY important message

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Wow, it's like 'The Good Place' but for Twitter! 😀
