@SY_Supertram I'm currently at Shalesmoor, will a last tram to Malin Bridge be coming through? Thanks.

[Dr Allan Shaw @Smurfation]

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!

@MissPrints_89 The honour was all mine 😘😅 exceedingly happy was a fantastic look on you! 😁 really was a special day!

[Readable Research @ReadableR]

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.

@HeatherMortiboy Congratulations Heather!

[MND Research @PremiumXRemark]

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!

[Dr Allan Shaw @Smurfation]

Agreed! Fantastic opportunity to network and learn how to clearly & enthusiastically share your research!

[Marianne King @DrMarianneKing]

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). 😇

[Dr Allan Shaw @Smurfation]

Likewise, glad to see it finally out. Great work Calum and everyone else who contributed to it! @neuroshef

[Prof Heather Mortiboys @HeatherMortiboy]

Great to see this paper out. It is an interesting story. Good to be part of it @neuroshef @NeuronalLee
