As part of #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay we are going back to basics to help break down some of the science behind #MND#ALS.
Share our posts to help raise awareness!
To mark #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay, this week we launched our network of events to bring together researchers & people affected by MND. LEARN aims to connect MND researchers & people with MND to help drive research. https://t.co/uNYiHp16kR
Today is #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay, a day to come together and raise awareness of motor neurone disease.
• 6 people will be diagnosed today
• 6 people will die today
• It has NO cure
Today, help us ensure that at least one more person knows about #MND.
Thank you for the members of #alsmndsymp for selecting my poster for further discussion! It was a pleasure to be there, congratulations for the winners! 🥳🥳
A massive congratulations to the poster prize winners at #alsmndsymp!
Poster presentations give early career researchers an opportunity to present their research. 🧑🔬
Very proud to see some @mndassoc funded researchers as winners this year!

BREAKING NEWS
The 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.
A paper in @Nature presents a brain–computer interface that helped a patient with ALS to communicate at an average rate of 62 words per minute, which is 3.4 times as fast as the previous record and moves closer to the speed of natural conversation. https://t.co/IRIdewziXu
Recruiting a motivated and creative postdoc interested in circuit neuroscience, inhibition, and epilepsy. The lab at Baylor College of Medicine uses in vivo multiphoton imaging and optogenetic approaches. Interested applicants message me or apply directly: https://t.co/827eVYetTC

Today is a very important day in our lab's life ! Today is the Global MND Awareness Day, in addition, a very talented PhD student in our lab, @ASanchezAvila just on the way to defend her PhD thesis focusing on Cognitive Impairment in ALS! Good luck Anna, so proud of you!!! 🍀🍀
Have you heard of motor neurone disease (#MND)?
It’s a disease that kills a third of people within a year, and more than half within two years of diagnosis.
It kills six people a day.
It has no cure.
On #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay, put #MNDOverMatter and help us raise awareness!
Today is #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay.
Raising awareness is vital to achieving our vision of a 🌍 without #MND but we will only get there with your support.
Please retweet and help to make more people aware of this devastating disease!
