It was a real privilege to attend the Academy of Medical Sciences’ Helix Reception. It was also inspiring to meet others who have been empowered by the Academy’s work, and a special honour to meet Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal as we celebrated the impact of this amazing community.
We were honoured to welcome our Royal Fellow, HRH The Princess Royal, to this week’s Helix reception.

Her Royal Highness joined us to mark 10 years of vital support from our Helix donors, helping us drive advances in health and biomedical research 🚀

#HiSciSky #AcademicSky I'm a #DevCogNeuro interested in bodyrepresentations, multisensory development and #interoception. I focus a lot of my research on infancy and toddlerhood.

Bear with me while I try and figure out how to navigate this new space :)
