That feeling you get when you read a study that was similar (but crucially different) to yours and saw a similar result is such an amazing feeling.

Absolutely crucial paper showing that fixation time is important for RNAscope! We also saw this when setting up our work and I only wish a paper like this had existed at the time so we knew where and how to focus our efforts!!!

If you missed this weeks webinar with tips on 'peer reviewing your first paper' you can watch the recording here: communities.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/c/events/pee...
