Big day yesterday with @EcclesMelissa submitting her PhD thesis 🙌🏽⭐️👩‍🔬🎊🍾 @CHIRI_curtin @AusDementiaEMCR #PhDone #PhinisheD #AusDementiaEMCR

[Curtin Medical Research Institute @CurtinMRI]

On #WorldAlzheimersDay we want to take a moment to recognise and honour the millions of people around the world living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of #dementia.

To learn more about Alzheimer's & the associated risk factors, visit https://t.co/ERocTH99MX

[AD Mechanisms Laboratory @AdMechanisms]

On #WorldAlzheimersDay we would like to acknowledge those living with Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease and their families. Those who have lost their lives to it. Those who give up their time for studies. And finally those who have dedicated their lives to researching this disease.

[Australian Dementia EMCR Network @AusDementiaEMCR]

During #DementiaActionWeek, we would like to recognise people living with dementia and people who support them, such as family members, friends and members of the community.
You inspire and take part in much of the research that we do, for a dementia-friendly future.
Thank you.

[Australian Dementia EMCR Network @AusDementiaEMCR]

It's #DementiaActionWeek! The theme this year is 'Act Now for a Dementia-Friendly future'. We will be tweeting every day to promote Australian early and mid career dementia researchers and what they are doing towards a dementia-friendly future, so please tag us!

Proud lab moment 👏🏼

[Ayeisha Milligan Armstrong @ayeisha_m_a]

Very, very proud of our Honours student who absolutely smashed her project proposal presentation today!👏🏼💯@AdMechanisms @CHIRI_curtin

[AD Mechanisms Laboratory @AdMechanisms]

🚨 Proud lab ‼️@EcclesMelissa took on @BioRad #battleoftheblots and won Best Normalisation and Quantitative Blot with the judges identifying her entry as the "gold standard for quantitative blotting". Known @CHIRI_curtin for her blots we’re proud to see them on the world stage!!

[AD Mechanisms Laboratory @AdMechanisms]

It doesn’t rain but it pours 🌧️ TWO pre-prints out in a week for @EcclesMelissa ⭐️ Keep your eyes peeled 👀 for more to come!

[Melissa Eccles @EcclesMelissa]

The 2nd preprint from my PhD is now available!! Keep an eye out for a more to come over the next few months!!
I am now on the fast march to submission & actively looking for what comes next #postdoc

Feels like a milestone type of day, finished my experiments, cleaned up my desk and now just a little more writing to do and this thing should be phinished!! #phdlife #PhD #ADResearch @AdMechanisms @CHIRI_curtin @CurtinUni
