A silence switch for cancer + fungal networks as bio-interfaces – discover the 8 projects we're funding in Scalable Neural Interfaces.

Led by @JacquesCarolan, this space asks how we can safely connect tech with the human nervous system.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how we scale neurotech.

Current approaches (e.g. DBS for PD) aren’t meeting the need. Emerging ones may fare even worse.

That’s why I’m scoping an @ARIA_research programme to develop neurotech built for scale.

During our visit @microshep, @OiHollie, and I presented our respective research on infected skin models, chronic wound healing and bioelectronics to students and staff at Nanjing Medical University. Thank you to our hosts for having us! @ShefDentistry

[Thomas Paterson @SciPaterson]

Explored the training facilities at Nanjing Medical University today, including VR/haptic station for student dentists. The extensive phantom head rooms, capable of accommodating 120 students, were impressive. @ashleytowers, 5 VR for 140 students, but more to come @ShefDentistry

[Thomas Paterson @SciPaterson]

In China for a collaborative visit to Nanjing Medical University's Dental Research and Training Hospital alongside @microshep and @OiHollie. Looking forward to reconnecting with former colleague @zhengkaishot and discussing advances in dental science @ShefDentistry @royalsociety

@RiaLMitchell @ShefDentistry Thanks Ria! A coffee sounds great, will send you a message.

[Thomas Paterson @SciPaterson]

First week back in @ShefDentistry, this time as a lecturer! Been made to feel very welcome by everyone. Will be exploring biomaterials, bioelectronics and additive manufacturing. If anyone has advice/anecdotes for academics just starting up I'd be keen to hear it.

[Thomas Paterson @SciPaterson]

@LunchBobs @ShefDentistry Thanks Rob! Don't know when you were last up, but @cwstokes has filled the labs with 3d printers, not that I'm complaining 😁

[Thomas Paterson @SciPaterson]

@Cheryl_A_Miller @ShefDentistry That's awesome, congrats!!

[Thomas Paterson @SciPaterson]

@microshep This is awesome! Enjoying the gallery (and my sushi legacy), some great memories 😁.

[Thomas Paterson @SciPaterson]

@YWHelp We have no water top of Langsett Avenue S6, is this the same fault as the one on rural Lane?

[Thomas Paterson @SciPaterson]

@RealSci_Nano I guess this means I sould tweet more often! 😅
