Massive paper alert: We performed extensive profiling of PI-2620 for 4R tauopathies. PI-2620 tau PET signals in PSP stem from neuronal and oligodendroglial tau, not astrocytes. Signals correlate with fibrillary tau, autoradiography, and autopsy data in PSP https://t.co/zEF9fwBlsN

Equitable dementia diagnosis requires us to understand how people from minoritised groups experience symptoms and seek help. Great work led by Christine Carter and @ClaudiaACooper1 from our @NIHRresearch funded EQUATED study.

Trainees will be restricted to only 3 applications for ACF posts from next year. I can't see that this is truly in the interests of those who are trying to follow an academic training career pathway who need and deserve as much flexibility and choice from the system as possible.
