Designs microfluidic devices for neuroscience research and sometimes cancer screening. A bit of biology, a bit of engineering...

Really looking forward to tomorrow. Come and see a great ECR symposium about neurodegeneration. It's free and there's still time to sign up!

If you're over 30 in Scotland and haven't received a vaccination appointment letter, it's worth checking here. Within 5 minutes I had a txt with my appointment details for next week! https://t.co/fq2KtGmYZT

@ChrisLauManson @real_ate Just to add to your recreational pedanticism. The 'normal' 'state' of water is salty. I think salty is over 95% of the water on earth.

[UK Dementia Research Institute @UKDRI]

We have a new Research Fellow position open in the lab of Prof Karen Duff (Centre Director, UK DRI at UCL)

Ideally suited for a newly qualified postdoc interested in understanding the role of abnormal tau protein in neurodegenerative disease

@GrahamEllis247 Though, if you extend the Hospital to the Home, and the carpark to the driveway... You suddenly have a lot more capacity! (and an analogy that's probably stretched too far. 😆)

While Toilet Duck and Dettol are trending, here's a reminder of the word 'ultracrepidarian': one who consistently offers opinions and advice on subjects way beyond their understanding.

@ZivGanOr @JensSchwamborn I know it's a limitation of the point you are trying to make in the question. But there's also been many drugs that work in vitro (human or mouse) that don't cross the blood brain barrier, or for other reasons don't work in vivo (human or mouse).

[Graham Robertson @ResearchGrum]

@ZivGanOr @JensSchwamborn Yup. I completely accept that point. And I'm sure that organoids are essential for finding new and better treatments. But in your hypothetical question you haven't ever tried it in an animal, so you have no idea how much or little of it will kill the human you are trying to save.
