Chilling to see this list of terminated NIH grants. Research on Alzheimer's, HIV, rare diseases, vaccines -- gone. Cancer centers closed, training grants & fellowships terminated. Young scientists stranded. Patients waiting for treatments that'll never come. Just sad. taggs.hhs.gov/Content/Data...

Wow, these spam emails are getting interesting! 😂

Next weeks Salon Webinar is all about "Transitioning to Independence" with guest speakers @davidebrunophd.bsky.social & @ianharrisonneuro.bsky.social Join us at 12pm on Wednesday 12th March communities.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/c/events/tra...

Addicted! Sandwich loaf for lunches and a mini loaf for soups. Love the house smelling of freshly baked bread on working from home days! 🍞

In my #sourdough era! Today's bakes...

A great opportunity with an amazing scientist and boss! Message Yvonne if you're interested!

What fresh hell is this?!

This is a significant move for UK institutions towards Bluesky. The UK Parliament has arrived here today! 🦋 Accounts are verified. @houseofcommons.parliament.uk @houseoflords.parliament.uk

Back to my old stomping ground today for a collaborative project, 10 years to the day since picking up my thesis from the printers here! Where has the time gone?!

Hello everyone, happy to share my first post here on BSky. I've moved over from Twitter and looking forward to seeing and discussing interesting science here. Please give me a follow if you're interested in #Lewy body diseases or #lysosomal storage disorders. Thank you!

Our lab's first Biorxiv deposition is live! We show that two commercially-available "aquaporin-4 inhibitors" do not inhibit aquaporin-4 as previously described. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Welcome @dave-mri.bsky.social!! Good to see you on here! 🥳

Do you know someone looking for a PhD opportunity in London? Here's a project from a future leader! Anna Hadjihambi researches how liver disease causes brain decline. Interdisciplinary and important topic for an ageing population. Please repost www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Self care Sunday. Though questionable having to play on this many flats! 😓

Rainy Saturday afternoons in my house...

Tau filaments are tethered within brain extracellular vesicles in Alzheimer’s disease www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Today is #EqualPayDay From today, women essentially work for free for the rest of the calendar year compared to men due to the #GenderPayGap Let that sink in...

Best thing on the internet. Inject it in my veins.

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff. I like this version of social media, and the world. Thanks, folks.

When your postdoc texts you as you're on your way to pick up the kids, to tell you that the experiment worked perfectly! 🧠 🤩 #proudPI

This is the beginnings of a Starter Pack for aquaporin channel fans. Join the Aquaporin Party! go.bsky.app/Hdhw78e

He's hoping for a last minute rush, the seminar room 5 mins before my MSc lecture this morning at UCL IoN. 😒

The anatomy of brainwashing: Glymphatic-lymphatic brain cleansing may reveal new therapeutic strategies www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The paper of the year! Bravo @sdas617.bsky.social and colleagues 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Nedergaard lab- impaired increase of infra-slow (30s) norepinepherine-oscillations in APP/PS1 mice after sleep deprivation. Suggests Amyloid-β (or γ-secretase) may impair it's own glymphatic clearance... www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Our latest preprint out on bioRxiv...we show that glymphatic function influences synuclein propagation in the brain 🧠

Well this place his marvelous isn't it?! Hi! I'm Ian, I'm a Principal Research Fellow at UCL studying the glymphatic system and it's role in dementia. Daughter dad, sourdough enthusiast and general science nerd! 🤓🧠
