Gearing up for paper autumn with my People Make Research mug!! Was super late to pick it up, but buzzing to have this reminder that I made a positive impact that inspired someone to nominate me for the collaboration category! 🥹 bonus points are it matches with my current fave focus playlist 👽

Took multiple weeks to recover from Canada, and was ready just in time for my first externally invited talk with @alzheimersresearchuk.org Scotland centre!! Learned so much over the conference and am so grateful for the opportunity to share my work and vision with brilliant researchers in Scotland!!

Totally jet lagged, and returned from a windy run feeling slightly defeated... so I added the #AAIC25 badge to my collection by my messy desk as a visual reminder for whenever I feel like I haven't achieved anything (ie nearly every day) - 10/10 recommend!!

Feeling so lucky for friend Angelina Kancheva 📸 whom I'm trying to convince to join here and who is one of the brightest people I know!!! There's so many amazing friends I've made through research (yes waiting for them to join here) and im so glad I could attend #AAIC25 and connect with them again!!

On #AAIC25 day 5, I shared with the amazing audience what we achieved with the first round of the @brainhealtharc.bsky.social Scottish Data Challenge. Brilliant questions gave me a chance to emphasise the need to reuse routine datasets and support cross-discipline collaboration for 2ndary analysis!!

On #AAIC25 day 4, I finally managed to get up early for a run! So glad I did, because I today I am feeling neeervous about speaking at the data sharing featured research session tomorrow at 1000🕙 in room 107📍join us to hear about the @brainhealtharc.bsky.social's first Scottish Data Challenge!!

#AAIC25 day 3 gone in a flash!! I gave myself the morning off to sleep in and see the CN tower before conference stuff. Feeling empowered by @stirlandia.bsky.social and @atlanticfellows.bsky.social, I let my brain be creative for the afternoon, thinking about what I want my metascience lab to do!!

#AAIC25 day 2 is finished and I am physically exhausted but am also feeling curious, inspired, and excited. It's humbling to see how fast basic science has evolved in this field, and empowering to realise that my research vision is relevant, timely, and bold.

#AAIC25 day 2 in full swing here in Toronto!! Fascinating morning sessions, and a fantastic plenary talk by @akassogloulab.bsky.social on neurovascular interaction mechanisms!!! Now another plenary talk about heterogeneous tauopathy presentation by the eminent Prof Maria Grazia Spillantini!!

Clearly a normal level of excited to be here!!! Watch this space bc this is my first international conference and I was sponsored to travel here as part of an award I won for the first Scottish Dementia Data Challenge 👀 can't wait to tell you (and show you!) all about it!! #AAIC25

omg today marks 7 days since I went to the #royalgardenparty at #holyroodpalace!!! I had the honour of being invited by #raceagainstdementia!! It was such an incredible experience and ofc i vlogged it bc i love romanticising my job hehe so here it is: www.instagram.com/reel/DLnUxzT...
