After taking a few days to relax, recover, and reflect, happy to announce that I successfully defended my PhD Thesis, Dr Shaw has arrived 🥳
Thank you @jennagregory488 and @WestWingsLab for such a stimulating discussion. I'm so excited and motivated to push this work further!
PhD student Katie is working on a project at SITraN looking at how support cells in the brain can become toxic in MND - and how we can stop that.
She talks to us about her background, why she chose research, and how her day unfolds.

Shout out to @neuroshef researchers walking to raise money for MND today. Chloe and Mara are a little concerned about blisters and their preferred #TUOSBigWalk snack is yoghurt bites.
On #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay we are going back to basics and stripping back complex areas of research to help people build their understanding of the science behind #ALS#MND. 🔬🧪
Help us raise awareness and knowledge by sharing our posts!
I am very happy to announce that my essay (about mushrooms and antidotes, of all things) won this year's edition of Science Writing Prize organised by @Official_BSCB! Beyond excited and humbled. Give it a read if you'd like to know more about deadly fungi. https://t.co/zVXEyBqcz8
Our new paper describing a new blood brain barrier model impaired in ALS. Congrats to @AnaAragonG for this great research, thrilled to have been a part of this project. @FerraiuoloLab
Definitely apply if you’re an ECR working on MND! It was a really fun and worthwhile event, with genuinely enjoyable networking (as someone who hates networking). 😇
Huge congrats to @DrPujaM, the winner of our Science Imaging Competition 2023, for her amazing image 'Eruption of Etna's Embers' 🥳🎉👏
