Delighted Newcastle Uni has been recognised for outstanding research in #DLB. Fantastic achievement and superb teamwork spanning 3 decades! Paving the way for better diagnostics, underlying mechanisms and ultimately treatments and a cure! 🧠 🔬

Had an excellent day at the Parkinson’s UK North East and Cumbria research day! Fantastic discussions with people with Parkinson’s and carers about brain changes we can see under the 🔬. A bit gutted we didn’t bump into Régis Le Bris

Excellent tips, particularly when University finances are tight and conference attendance may be limited!

This is disappointing! The North-East produces exceptional research! I’ve had the privilege of working alongside world leaders in Lewy body dementia at Newcastle University. Transparency as to how these institutions were selected is definately needed!

I feel seen as an ECR dependant on grant funding for continued employment. Some excellent points raised in this blog, and interesting discussion about how research grants are funded. Very much worth a read.

Anyone else do a little dance when the student assignment you are marking hits all of the things you outlined in the brief and more? Maybe it’s just me 🤓

We set aside 20min in class for a Q&A on funding a lab, federal funding, IDCs, and ongoing policy shifts. Was definitely not enough time. Such great and insightful questions Probably could have taken the whole class Anyway. 10/10 would recommend
