Excited to be here at #AAIC2024

@VicLouGray Congratulations!! My certificate came on my birthday as well ☺️

@Geekazoid Thank you! It would be good to test the lipid gene-set in other data. The effect may be somewhat circular as the GERAD data was part of Kunkle, from which the lipid gene-set was derived. Or testing a different lipid gene-set derived from experimental data. #ARUKConf21

Looking forward to #ARUKConf21 today! 🎉

Be sure to catch Dr Emily Baker (@EmB1105) from UK DRI at Cardiff 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 at 10:45:

👉"To what extent can microglia, synapse and lipid genes be used to inform drug discovery"

[George Kirov @GeorgeKirov1]

Very impressed with @cardiffuni introducing its own COVID screening system for students and staff.

"I think the most exciting thing is that geneticists are inviting mathematicians like me to work with them & quite often even to lead projects." 🧮

Dementia affects millions yet remains misunderstood. You have the power to change the conversation. Watch and #ShareTheOrange with @SamuelLJackson.

@Regeneron @uk_biobank 50k WES presented as late breaking results #ESHG2019! around 2% individuals with ACMG actionable findings. some novel genes with LOF burden. https://t.co/cmCAmjEeAu

Incredible kick off to the #CardiffUKDRI launch @cardiffuni with soapbox science 🔬

Help us reach 10,000 signatures on our petition calling on government to commit #just1percent of dementia’s £26bn cost toward dementia research.

Sign and share and help us get an official response from government!

@Velothon Wales was an incredible experience! Thanks to everyone who supported us and @teamaruk!!

[Dr Emily Simmonds @EmB1105]

I will be cycling 140km for the Velothon Wales in support of Alzheimer's Research UK, if you are able to give anything towards this worthy cause, it would be hugely appreciated!! https://t.co/wDAKgbPREa

This orange has the power to change perceptions of dementia. But it all starts with you. Please watch and #ShareTheOrange, the film we made with @BryanCranston

Gates: Thank God the digital world is giving us limitless storage because geneticists are the few people who can fill up those disks #ashg17

Great to see the purple London Eye in support of Alzheimer's research! #AAIC17
