Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @Brain1878 If you agree with the sentiments please RT. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness

Over the past few years, I���ve been developing an algorithm for generating custom 3D-printed bespoke neck collars & patterns.

Here’s a look at the process - from scan to design! Excited to share a bit of my PhD journey. Thoughts? #DigitalDesign #PhDLife #ComputationalDesign #mnd

@Andrew_Akbashev I am curious as to the limitations you encountered as I notice it’s not in the paper. You have mentioned about the data collection and web scrapping but I do wonder about what the general limitations are between comparing PhDs awarded and total papers published!

[Sam Spears @SpearsSam]

@Andrew_Akbashev It seems your Figure 1 Supplementary Material Graph C is more informative than the graph shown here. I think your comment on over publishing on the graph here is not representative nor a comment for the data displayed. Whilst I don’t disagree with your overall statement…

Me when someone says to look but don't make it obvious....

may or may not have messed up the autogenerated model 🤦😂

MND Matters Episode 25 🎙️ Wheelchairs

We chat with Simon, living with MND, and Maggy, one of our specialist wheelchair therapists. In 2022 we funded almost £70,000 worth of wheelchair grants for those with #MND. Simon shares what impact this support has had.
