Congratulations to Dr Jude Krampah for passing his PhD viva today, it was great to be a part of this supervisory team. Jude's thesis explored the prognosic value of balance measurements and salivary biomarkers for declining cognition in older adults 👏 🙌 .

After a spot of sunny sightseeing in Rotterdam, I've arrived in Tiel ready for the Dutch Neuroscience Meeting. Looking forward to connecting and learning from this great brain nation. I'll be kicking off the Thursday genetic therapies session with a talk on RNA trans-splicing 🧠

Eugh. I'm reminded why I vowed not to use Scientific Reports again, several weeks just to find a handling editor!
