Art intervention reduced anxiety & increased well-being. Interestingly, healthcare consumption reduced (fewer visits to medical professionals). These encouraging findings support need for large RCT to explore therapeutic potential of creative arts therapy in Parkinson care.

Pleased to announce publication of our pilot study on creative #arts therapy. Intervention was co-designed w/ persons with #Parkinson & was personalized: participants selected preferred art engagement from multiple creative media (our “playground”) based on individual preferences

DeepSeek’s fast development explained.

What an inspirational effort!

22 #NHS professionals living with #Parkinsons are attempting to cover the 21195km distance of The Great Wall Of China in 52 weeks.

19 days ago we were 3021km behind the pace.

With 62 days left we are only 1449km off the pace.

1. Afgelopen vrijdag was ik aanwezig bij de opening van de fantastische tentoonstelling "What Art Can Do". Prachtige kunstwerken, gemaakt door mensen met #Parkinson in co-creatie met Art Unbound. Unieke verhalen over de impact van Parkinson, creativiteit, veerkracht & verbinding.

[Bas Bloem @basbloem]

3. Special mention for unique exhibition "Poisoned leaves" by Adriaan Holsappel, artist who lives with #Parkinson. He has treated leaves with #glyphosate. In doing so, he expresses his concerns about impact of our human actions on nature, climate and health.

2. Along with many scientists & leading organizations such as @MichaelJFoxOrg I feel that burden of proof has shifted to industry to demonstrate that #paraquat is safe (rather than requesting scientists to prove that paraquat is a cause of #Parkinson).

[Bas Bloem @basbloem]

1. Contributed to an interview with Science, regarding the upcoming decision of the EPA whether or not to continue the use of #paraquat in the US, weighed against risk of (among others) #Parkinson disease.

@morethanatremor Happy birthday Kuhan. You are a total inspiration to me. I will continue to work tirelessly to make sure that you and all those others have an optimal quality of life despite Parkinson, and that one day we can end this beast forever.
