It's that time again where I plug my favourite sci-comm event of the year! Please come along and hear about some cool science @TheBedfordPub! Tickets are only £5 and you get to learn exciting new things with access to a bar - it's like school but SO much better
🎶Un-break my heart
🎶 Can't take my eyes of you
📼We are getting a special #mixedtape ready for our #pint22 event where broken organs are simply replaced w/ #synthetic ones! That is what @tonibraxton meant, right?!

Great to see some of our PhD students at the Unit taking part in Pint Of Science this year! These events are always brilliant and a great opportunity to share research with the general public.
Today is the start of @SustainableUCL's #28DaysOfSustainability! Get involved with some of their wonderful events or challenge yourself to make your own sustainable choices for the next four weeks. We will be offering plant-based milk options at our Wellbeing coffee mornings!
I had a great time writing our second profile in this series. Mark is an invaluable member of staff at the Prion Unit, his protein production skills help so many different projects to happen!
Have you seen our newest Meet The Staff profile? Mark has been working at the Prion Unit for over 23 years now, so he gave us some great insights into working at a research institute! https://t.co/G8VRVuX1p8
Join @SustainableUCL for #28DaysOfSustainability - a four-week programme about community climate action to make #ChangePossible! From a Climate AI Hack competition to Fairtrade pancakes - Find all the details here: https://t.co/BWAaDFMiS6
Really enjoyed putting together this first piece in our new series looking at all the different roles in a research institute. Science requires a huge range of talented people to work together, not just in the lab but outside as well!
COVID has put scientific research front and centre in the news, media and daily life. We have started a new series of articles highlighting the diverse range of staff needed to run a research institute like ours. https://t.co/MjSSDswH91
We are delighted that the Institute of Prion Diseases has been granted a Bronze Athena SWAN award. Engaging with the Athena SWAN process has served to focus our thinking on how we will ensure we do not disadvantage anyone in achieving a successful academic career @Athena_SWAN
Week 2 of our festive bake-off this morning organised by our wonderful wellbeing team! Staff have switched out protocols for recipes with great results. Today’s theme: The 12 days of Christmas 🎄🧁
Lovely to see exciting results being made accessible to the general public. COVID has definitely highlighted the need for easy-to-understand scientific sources to increase public trust in scientists.
Have you seen our new lay articles yet? Our most recent one from Dr Benilova and Dr Reilly is now on our website! They describe the work they did in their 2020 @PNAS paper showing that infectious prions are not directly neurotoxic: https://t.co/c8sjdzm03i

If you're interested in joining us for a PhD do come along! I'm on year 2 out of 4 on this exciting programme and really recommend it for anyone who is looking for a highly interdisciplinary project in a very welcoming institute.
2022 PhD Student open day - informal visits to the Institute on the 12th November 2021 (2-4pm). All are welcome but please contact Parmjit Jat ([email protected]) to register your interest. The programme advert can be found here: https://t.co/OsPv7vYZWz
Had my first day tutoring with @BrilliantClub today. Pupils so engaged and had some great discussions about prion diseases. Looking forward to the next session!
