Excellent article on #ADHD in @newscientist by @sciencecaroline. Contrary to uninformed opinion, it is still under diagnosed in the UK, and “people who self-diagnose based on what they have read about ADHD often turn out to be right.” newscientist.com/article/mg2…

ADHD: What's behind the recent explosion in diagnoses? | New Scientist

Cases of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are rocketing, but what's the cause? Fortunately, we now have a better understanding of the condition - and how to identify those who have it

Excellent effort, well done @samofmidworld, great to see it in preprint. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

High-density volumetric super-resolution microscopy

Volumetric super-resolution microscopy typically encodes the 3D position of single-molecule fluorescence into a 2D image by changing the shape of the point spread function (PSF) as a function of...

Check out mine & @Markus_Koer work in @NatureComms. We address a long-standing question in T cell biology - how to discriminate between antigens. It turns out the shape of T cells is key! nature.com/articles/s41467-0… #Immunology #Tcell #microvilli @DavisLab_Oxford @KlenermanLab

Antigen discrimination by T cells relies on size-constrained microvillar contact

Nature Communications - T cells can use TCR on microvilli to interact with peptide-MHC (pMHC) complexes on antigen presenting cells. Here the authors characterise how T cells use microvilli to...

I really can't ridicule the incompetence of the UK government over post-Brexit trade enough Remember the phantom Seabourne Ferries debacle? Well, the latest example is a tale of utter incompetence, phantom shipping companies and the Great UK Tomato Shortage of 2023 🧵

Are you joking? How is that a Willock foul? The commentators sum it up perfectly. Once again robbed by VAR. surely this is a sick joke now. @NUFC @NUFC @NewcastleFansTV @Nufc2Everything @NUFC360 #newcastleunited

I just remembered getting the ‘advice’ to not tell anyone ever that I have ADHD, including friends and other family, several times by different people. It’s kind of weird when someone tells you “I shouldn’t be knowing that about you” when it’s a big part of my life.

There are several types of memory challenges for people with ADHD. Most are familiar with long-term memory and working memory, but less well known is something called prospective memory.

Why NTs think you need to try harder.🧵 People that don't struggle with executive dysfunction (specifically, with initiating) assume that we're not trying hard enough because the space between "trying" to do something and doing it is so small, it's imperceptible to them. 1/6

Dear teachers—if you write these in a report card, that’s an ADHD warning sign. Effort likely isn’t the issue. • “not reaching their potential” • “needs to apply themself more” • “I know they could do better” • “not making the effort” • “a pleasure to have in class, but…”
