The Empire created Britain’s wealth. Yet I can’t remember it ever being mentioned in history at school. It means many people have no idea why they see the mix of people they the do around them. Ignorance of history plays into the hands of fhe far-right.

Travelling north to give a seminar talk and meet with colleagues at @uofglasgow.bsky.social tomorrow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ntuneuro.bsky.social @ntumeta.bsky.social

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

This talk was so much fun! 🤩 Hopefully I helped to inspire the young(er) researchers to dream big and don’t let anyone limit your potential. #ShowUpAsYouAre 🧠🌟 @infneuroendo.bsky.social @bsneuroendo.bsky.social @paneuroendo.bsky.social

At our @bsneuroendo.bsky.social annual meeting in Bradford this year I interviewed the super @denisebelsham.bsky.social on her group's work and what drives her. I think we can all relate to being motivated to prove people wrong!

I interviewed Prof Anne White for the BSN on her research at our annual meeting in Bradford this year. Something that struck me was her investment in the #Postdoc members of her team, using profits from #commercialisation of her work.

This is a hugely important piece for anyone who wants to understand why the Cass review is ideologically driven and should not be used to develop healthcare policy

This week we welcomed new team member Maisie Smedley on placement from @uniofnottingham.bsky.social BSc Neuroscience who will be working on tissue clearing and mapping hypothalamic networks. We were all busy in the lab this week! @ntuneuro.bsky.social @ntumeta.bsky.social www.Dumbell-lab.com

Paracetamol remains an important option to treat pain or fever in pregnant women. Following rigorous assessment of the available scientific data, we find no evidence that taking paracetamol during pregnancy causes autism in children. Read more 👉 www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/use-...

This week @helferlab.bsky.social and I had a great and productive day visiting @mrcharwell.bsky.social to help get set up for my @acmedsci.bsky.social funded animal study. Really excited to be moving forward! 🐭🧠🍔🔬

Short visit to MRC Harwell today and a great catch-up with @rebeccadumbell.bsky.social. Some exciting science coming your way soon!

If you are in S America (or maybe just want to go there), this is a fabulous opportunity to hear some of the best & brightest speakers in the field. 🧠🌟 A chance to present your research - can’t get better than that! @infneuroendo.bsky.social @endocrinesociety.bsky.social @bsneuroendo.bsky.social

📸 Here’s #PhD student Jack from the Hulse Group presenting his poster at #NeuroDiab2025 in Bucharest! 🧬 His work focuses on the role of hypoxia in diabetic neuropathy — an exciting area with big implications for understanding disease mechanisms. #Neuroscience #DiabetesResearch #NTU #SHiMR

🎤Honoured to present at the 35th Annual #NEUROdiab Meeting in Bucharest! Explored how spinal cord vasculature contributes to diabetic neuropathy using spatial transcriptomics🧬 🙏Thanks to the organisers + my colleagues in the Hulse Group, #NTU & #SHiMR. #NeuroDiab2025 #Neuroscience #DiabetesResearch

"A highlight of the conference so far has been the prominence of successful women scientists. 👩🏻‍🔬 So exciting to hear discussion between Profs Anne White and Denise Belsham @denisebelsham.bsky.social . Fascinating and inspiring! 🙌🏻" - Dr Rebecca Dumbell @rebeccadumbell.bsky.social

🌟 Last week's Annual Meeting at #BSNBradford2025 was full of great science + inspiration. Thanks to all the speakers and everyone who gathered to make it such a fantastic meeting. Here’s a recap of the highlights (thread 🧵)…

People are exhausted. Our high streets, public spaces, whole communities left unloved. Blaming migrants won’t fix this. Tackling inequality will. Tax the super-rich. Fund public services. #DrawTheLine www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The best meetings involve puppies! One of the perks of @bsneuroendo.bsky.social Comms meetings #DogsOfBluesky 🐶 @isadoracfurigo.bsky.social

Fantastic talk from @mdelibeg.bsky.social on nutritional interventions for aging and cognition at the @bsneuroendo.bsky.social meeting 🧠 #bsn2025 #bsnbradford2025

The mentorship scheme is open again! I have the pleasure of being mentoring Kemi, who I met in person at #BSNBradford2025 ! A lovely, proactive and determined woman! And quoting our inspiring professor @denisebelsham.bsky.social #ShowUpAsYouAre . Don’t loose this opportunity! Keep shining 🌟

Thanks to the fantastic local organising team at #BSNbradford2025. Especially @helferlab.bsky.social who oversaw everything with high precision! (L-R) Harsha Kantamneni, Gi Helfer, Pete Nicholls @pk-nicholls.bsky.social, Sam Mclean, Stuart Dickens. @uniofbradford.bsky.social Safe travels home all! 🌎

What a great conference @bsneuroendo.bsky.social #BSNbradford2025 with team NTU (and Annabelle not in the photo). Showcasing Neuroendocrine NTU! ✔️three posters ✔️one poster prize 🏆 ✔️one session chaired ✔️one presentation to the AGM ✔️a lot of curries eaten 🍛 ✔️some crazy dancing ✔️Lots of cool science

Well done Sam! Great to see NTU neuroendocrinology highlighted and winning prizes 🏆 #BSNbradford2025 #NTUresearch @bsneuroendo.bsky.social @ntuneuro.bsky.social @ntumeta.bsky.social

The #DumbellLab on tour! #BSNbradford2025 left-right it's me, Bharat, Marwa @marwaalkhalidi.bsky.social and Annabelle. Posters might be over but chat to us about our work here at the @bsneuroendo.bsky.social annual meeting! www.Dumbell-lab.com @ntuneuro.bsky.social @ntumeta.bsky.social

In this afternoon's poster session come and meet Bharat Muthukumar talk about ZFHX3 #metabolic effects and Sam Bennett on mice divergently selected for metabolic differences and altered behavioural #rhythms. #BSNbradford2025 #NTUresearch @bsneuroendo.bsky.social @ntuneuro.bsky.social

"if your experiments are well planned as designed you can still publish well" 💯 agree, and can confirm from experience. Data is data and it's still an important result to clearly show that your hypothesis wasn't supported. #BSNbradford2025

An inspiration to women in science and scientists in general. @denisebelsham.bsky.social starts with a fitting tribute to Alison Douglas and her support for early career scientists #ShowUpAsYouAre #BSNbradford2025

Day 2 of #BSNbradford2025 I'm co-chairing session 1: #Rhythms and Hormonal interactions 9am. Looking forward to talks on #Chrononutrition, #astrocytes and metabolic control, retinal ganglion cell-> #SCN rhythms, and brainstem regulation of #GnRH pulse generator. 🕘🕥🍔🧠 @bsneuroendo.bsky.social

Presenting her work on today's poster session @marwaalkhalidi.bsky.social talking about ZFHX3 and it's molecular action on energy balance neuropeptides @bsneuroendo.bsky.social @ntuneuro.bsky.social @ntumeta.bsky.social #BSNbradford2025

A highlight of the conference so far has been the prominence of successful women scientists. 👩🏻‍🔬 So exciting to hear discussion between Profs Anne White and Denise Belsham @denisebelsham.bsky.social. Fascinating and inspiring! 🙌🏻 @bsneuroendo.bsky.social #BSNbradford2025

Great day to be travelling to Bradford for the @bsneuroendo.bsky.social annual meeting! See you there? 🤓😎🧠
