I was really proud to be part of the #MoLo project this weekend. The #communityengagement was incredible, it was a powerful and inspiring example of how clinical care and multidisciplinary research can come together to make a real impact - huge congrats to @emilymartyn.bsky.social!

📢📢📢 Our next LINE seminar is approaching. This time with a twist:
On Wed the 26th of Nov, we will be meeting in Cambridge @mrclmb.bsky.social! Sina Krokowski and @juliasg.bsky.social will be sharing their science!
