Requesting a vegetarian meal? 🥗 Mentioning the environment doesn't go down well!
New research by @Kate_Laffan@LSE_PBS found that people who request veggie meals are seen more positively if they do so for health rather than environmental reasons.

In this study, Roca-Pereira et al. found CXCL12 more specific for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) compared to neurofilament light chain (NF-L), the current gold standard biomarker. #ALS#biomarker

@UPS_Netherlands I stayed home all day waiting for my package, only to find out it was dropped at a pickup point without even a call. I paid extra taxes & fees for doorstep delivery—this is unacceptable and highly inconvenient. Please do better.
Van den Bosch et al. report that in #multiplesclerosis post-mortem human brain tissue, CD200 expression in normal-appearing grey matter is lower compared to controls, negatively correlates with cortical lesion load.

Yoon et al. suggest that establishing brain multi-molecular maps using an artificial intelligence-based integrative approach of #omics and imaging will provide new insights at the molecular level into diagnosis and treatment.

Kannan et al. report that #senataxin plays a critical role in R-loop-mediated #neurodegeneration associated with neurodegenerative disorders. Mutations in senataxin cause defects in R-loop homeostasis leading to neurodegeneration.

“Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he's destroying is this God he's worshiping.”

Woodrow et al. compared acute neurological effects of repeat mild #traumaticbraininjury to that of single and no injury using resting-state functional MRI, showing a rank-based trend of increasing connectivity with number of injuries.

🆕 New Video 📹 on my Youtube Channel 👩🔬 science.manuela 🆕 👉 https://t.co/S61b0gl4Z4 . I have interviewed @EWilsonSci , an amazing PhD student for her involvement in the Edinburgh ReproducibiliTea Initiative 😀 #openresearch#openscience#reproducibility#writingscience
I am very delighted to say that next month I am joining @Radboud_Uni as a Research Master's student in Behavioural Science. I hope to be able to (finally) work on the issue of #climatechange and #mentalhealth.
This wasn't possible without the support of so many people including my family. Three years in Edinburgh have been life changing and I have experienced things (both at a personal and professional level) that I never thought I would.
It has definitely been a roller coaster ride with challenges at every step of the way but I am grateful for every little opportunity I got. At the same time, visa restrictions and visa formalities suck out so much of energy and I have come to realise this...
