Next time you use Wikipedia, why not click on "Donate"? Worth at least as much as a week's wine budget. And, thanks to the army of unpaid contributors who provide the content!

Excited to announce the acquisition of Chord Therapeutics by Merck KGaA. There are real synergies here, for people living with NMOSD and myasthenia gravis. Thanks to Tom Plitz, Claudio Nessi, Francesco Draetta and everyone involved at Omega and Merck!

New report on the impact and unmet need due to dementia in Parkinson's. Not the first symptom most people think of, but actually very common - most people will be affected. Investmnet in effective new treatments needed! https://t.co/nfXm8UiC8o

This campaign highlights the surprising, frustrating extent of all the things that people living with Parkinson's may have difficulty with at times. Let's work together to give them back those things, through research.

[Parkinson's UK @ParkinsonsUK]

Parkinson’s devastates lives and there’s no cure. Yet.

But Parkinson's can’t hold us back. Powered by people like you. Putting our money where our mouth is. Funding pioneering research to find a cure.

Together, we’re Parkinson’s UK.

[Arthur Roach @DrArthurRoach]

Hallucinations in Parkinson's can start slowly but become very problematic. If you live in the UK and could be interested in a trial, search the Parkinson's UK Take Part Hub.

[Parkinson's UK @ParkinsonsUK]

We’re proud to announce we’re investing £1 million in a world-first double-blind clinical trial, led by @ucl.

The trial will investigate if a powerful drug called ondansetron, could ease hallucinations in people with #Parkinsons 👉https://t.co/5sY3PBjFA3

[Arthur Roach @DrArthurRoach]

Have a look at this great story about the trial we at Parkinson's UK are funding to find a treatment for hallucinations in Parkinson's.

[Arthur Roach @DrArthurRoach]

@ASAP_Research People with Parkinson's have reason to celebrate - the appearance of a strong new source of research funding dedicated to understanding Parkinson's and helping find the path to a cure.

[Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s @ASAP_Research]

In our global effort to promote even stronger collaboration, we’re enabling science to go further, faster by supporting diverse teams—each advancing targeted basic research to move us toward meaningful advancements in the fight against #Parkinsons disease.

Excellent piece on @BBCr4today about the funding crisis facing UK medical research in the wake of the pandemic.

Medical research charities desperately need Government support to continue funding life saving and changing research.

@SirPaulNurse 👏👏👏💪

[Arthur Roach @DrArthurRoach]

Nice piece by the Parkinson's UK Research Comms team on this Parkinson's and diabetes.

In case you haven't seen it: a major step forward for a new possible disease modifying treatment for Parkinson's, based on the discovery of the LRRK2 gene.
