Holly Haines is a Research Assistant in the Department of Psychiatry and Dementia Theme Co-Ordinator at Oxford Health BRC. She highlights that what’s good for the heart is good for the brain – and research shows that this is true throughout the lifespan, even for children and teenagers.

“Things like obesity and physical inactivity affect our heart health and research shows they also affect our brains – potentially as early as adolescence. This means that simple lifestyle changes, like eating healthier and moving more, could protect our long-term brain health.” Holly Haines, Research Assistant, Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford

Complex first two weeks back at work after maternity leave - exciting to be back at a job I love, but so difficult to leave baby every day. Start of week 3 - here's to it getting just a little bit easier and more manageable every day! #academicmum @storiesofwin.bsky.social

.. aaand I'm back from my year of maternity leave (and a year away from academic social media). Future me is getting ready to tackle the challenges of being an academic mum of 2 little ones. This feels like a friendly space to walk into 👋🏽 #neuroskyence #academicmum

Fresh from giving a fellowship presentation in a beautiful old library in Oxford 📚 I'm excited to one day tell my baby what I was up to a week before their arrival! Sun-kissed on the walk home and now ready for my year away from neuroscience. #sciencemum #neuroskyence

My last day in the lab before I start a year of maternity leave for the second time. Grateful to have led this amazing team for 2 years. A bit daunting to think about having to rebuild all this from the ground up when I return, but that's a problem for future me to tackle! #neuroscience #academicmum

Our latest paper was in the news 👀 We've created a score that combines 11 clinical/lifestyle factors to predict dementia risk. Score developed in UK Biobank, validated in Whitehall-II cohort, & outperforms 3 widely-used dementia risk scores. www.google.com/amp/s/amp.th...

👋🏽 I've just moved over to Bluesky. I'm an Associate Prof at Oxford, studying dementia and brain ageing. I lead this wonderful lab: the Heart & Brain Group. Here's us enjoying our last lab dinner before I leave on maternity in a few days. I'm excited to chat all things heart, brain (and baby) on here
