After taking a few days to relax, recover, and reflect, happy to announce that I successfully defended my PhD Thesis, Dr Shaw has arrived 🥳
Thank you @jennagregory488 and @WestWingsLab for such a stimulating discussion. I'm so excited and motivated to push this work further!

PhD student Katie is working on a project at SITraN looking at how support cells in the brain can become toxic in MND - and how we can stop that.
She talks to us about her background, why she chose research, and how her day unfolds.

Shout out to @neuroshef researchers walking to raise money for MND today. Chloe and Mara are a little concerned about blisters and their preferred #TUOSBigWalk snack is yoghurt bites.

On #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay we are going back to basics and stripping back complex areas of research to help people build their understanding of the science behind #ALS #MND. 🔬🧪
Help us raise awareness and knowledge by sharing our posts!

It’s been a great day sharing the research going on in Sheffield! @Smurfation @AstroMysz @KatyBarnes30
There's just 2 hours left to meet some of the health researchers across #Sheffield and get involved in our interactive activities! We're in the Sheffield Winter Garden until 3pm today. We would love to meet you! #NHS75 #BePartOfResearch

Emily and Katy have spent the day with @AstroMysz and @Smurfation making brain hats and neurons, and sharing the research going on in SITraN to celebrate 75 years of the NHS
Lots of fun down at the Sheffield Winter Gardens celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the NHS. Brain hats aplenty, even on the garden's more permanent residents! @AstroMysz @KatyBarnes30 @FerraiuoloLab @MortiboysLab @neuroshef
