Since COVID, we have known we can move fast to fix our biggest problems. Gov and pharma did not hesitate to accelerate vaccine development and distribution in record time. Now people know we can do the same for other crises: housing, inequality, climate, and diseases like dementia. #AbundanceAgenda

“Hope for me is not passive, hope is the fight”

Amazing address by Linde Jacobs at #Tau2025, whose family’s journey with MAPT FTD I first read about in the NYT. Rings similar for me to @ayanaeliza.bsky.social about climate.

Paul Johnson, a PSPA rep and PSP patient, also made an excellent point:

Excited to be sharing some of my data on cell specific vulnerability to tau for the first time (surprise, I’ve also been working on tau, and alpha synuclein) at #Tau2025 in London today!

Come and say hi at poster #45 :)

Thank you to the organisers for the opportunity and conference fellowship!

To celebrate #WorldParkinsonsDay we are sharing you a photo of the wonderful lab researchers working hard to find a cure for #Parkinsons Disease #WPD2025 @wademartinslab.bsky.social @sophielfarrow.bsky.social @kavlioxford.bsky.social @oxforddpag.bsky.social @oxforddpag.bsky.social

Thank you for coming along! :)

It’s only taken 5 days but I think I’ve finally managed to navigate to Hall B and Hall C with above chance accuracy at #ADPD2025 😂😂

This whole centre is like a cognitive testing maze, and I’ve been put in the sleep deprivation condition 🥲😅

🗣️ Come along to Hall C this evening at #ADPD2025 for my talk on modelling Lewy pathology in selectively vulnerable iPSC dopaminergic and cortical neurons in AD and PD!

It’s a late one (7:10pm in the stem cell session) but I promise lots of cool images to make it worth it 😁

Catch me this week at #ADPD2025!

📜 Poster: 01-025 on Wednesday and Thursday.

🗣️ Talk: Friday 17:10 in Hall C, in the “Cell Replacement Therapy and Diagnostics” session.

Can promise cool cell pictures (and learning about synucleinopathy in AD, autophagy, and iPSC neurons) at both!

Dicey start to #ADPD2025 with not enough food and lines out the door as 1000s queue for 3 tables.

Nevertheless, great talks to open from Tony Wyss-Coray, Florence Layburn, and Margot Teil, on proteome aging, mixed pathology, and PFFs. Glad other people are considering counterintuitive pathology :)

Double rainbow in Edinburgh this morning! (Before it started hailing on me…)

Going to be a good last day of #SCMND2025!

Very cool talk by @andreaserio.bsky.social about axon modelling and how much size matters at #SCMND. Lots of food for thought on neurite outgrowth and the influence of cell morphology on disease phenotypes.

Come by poster #34 at #SCMND to see some cool pictures of Lewy Pathology in cortical and dopaminergic neurons! 😁🧫

(And learn about how Lewy bodies form, what effect they have on cells, and what cell characterisrics make them vulnerable and resilient in AD and PD 🙂)

Sydney-Singapore ✈️
Singapore-London ✈️
London-Oxford 🚌
Oxford-Edinburgh 🚆

Final leg of the journey to #SCMND! 39 hrs and counting of transit (do I get a prize for furthest travelled? 😅) but excited for the next three days of stem cell modelling talks 😁

Excited to be giving a talk about the basics of using AI as a Daily Research Tool for the @istaart.bsky.social Alzheimer's Association Technology and Dementia PIA later today 😊
