Joy to see Mark Watson dealing remarkably well with unexpected audience participation on the topic of brain surgery and adoption. Last time was in Edinburgh for Best of the Fest alongside Will Smith. Thank you for the laughter ❤️

Do you get Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria #RSD? It often feels like being punched in the gut when you think someone doesn't like you or you believe you've upset someone?

Common in #ADHD types. Very unpleasant - but just knowing about it and recognising when it appears really seems to help!

Neurological issues are the number one causes for disability and death in the UK. Mental health, depression, anxiety, memory problems, brain fog, neuro developmental conditions, neurodegenerative conditions like dementia.
We can improve it but it's a complex issue requiring multiple approaches.

This is an example of brilliant research that has still not been translated into action. Published in 2008 when my 16 year old son was born

We don't just need more research. We need to translate that research into practical applications in the real world. We can improve mental health, cognitive health, behavioural health, emotional health. It's all brain health and it can be improved at any age.

What can affect your mental health? Community - yes. And also prenatal health, upbringing, genetics, workplace, environment, education and so much more.

We need Brainhealthy workplaces. Brainhealthy schools. Brainhealthy communities.

So sorry to hear it. Yes - I would definitely recommend getting diagnosis and treatment for both ADHD and Perimenopause x

Yes, it would be great to have neuroscience and neuroinclusion included in teacher education and in the meantime I'm so glad this helped you and will in turn help your kids.

It's highly genetic so very likely 😊🧠

A really special programme which absolutely resonated with my own experience of an ADHD diagnosis aged 45, alongside perimenopause. Thank you very much @chrisgpackham.bsky.social and all those who contributed to the programme.

Thank you @chrisgpackham.bsky.social and BBC for presenting ADHD in such a sensitive and positive light while recognising the challenges of living with neurodivergent brains.

YouTube video by The George Institute MESSAGE Webinar (excerpt) - Sex and Gender Equity in Medical Research

Ok, the MESSAGE webinar sub-5 min summary video is now on Youtube. Please have a listen, even if you think sex and gender has nothing to do with your clinical work or research. You may be surprised.

Vital insights for researchers and those of us addressing women's workplace health too. With more appropriate data, we can find more appropriate solutions.

Women in a clinical trial

Women are woefully under-researched.

Spending time in nature helps your brain and overall health. Just a few minutes can make a difference and even watching a nature video seems to increase alpha wave activity and boost wellbeing.
I'm lucky to be able to enjoy these amazing Redwoods with my morning coffee. #brainhealthy #Norwich

Fantastic!

@thersaorg.bsky.social Thank you for a valuable meeting of Global Fellows this morning. Some fascinating conversations emphasising the need to collaborate, share ideas, escape silos, apply robust science and optimise inclusion at every stage. I feel this is needed more than ever right now.

Was this recorded by any chance?

I brought a Flow Neuroscience device to an event yesterday. I was giving a keynote and asked how many of the 200 ish audience had tried neurotech. Two hands up. Interesting. Anyone here tried anything? Neurofeedback? Neuro modulation? I'd love your thoughts.

Beautiful photo! The colour suits him.
