Congrats @BecSheean, very well deserved!
Sad to hear of Justin Yerbury’s passing - such an inspirational leader in the MND research community, leaving an enduring legacy.
A very sad loss of a giant of MND research

Cytoplasmic TDP-43 accumulation drives many dynamic changes to the cortex proteome. Together with @adamkeithwalker and the @WalkerNeuroLab, we have produced a “molecular map” of disease-specific changes over time in a mouse model of ALS and FTD.

#IDAHOBIT is a day of solidarity and support for all LGBTQIA+ people.
Shout out to the good people @QueersInScience, and allies who uplift our voices diligently.
As a treat I’m sharing my op-ed which will be included in an upcoming @EMCRForum newsletter.

Great to see @molly_swanson’s great work now published - very cool correlative imaging analysis pipelines, plus interesting findings about on TDP-43 and microglia!
@molly_swanson's lovely work quantifying microglial changes in #ALS #MND is now published bit.ly/3oYQtOQ. We teamed up with @adamkeithwalker to examine what comes first in people with MND and in the rNLS8 mouse model; TDP-43 pathology or microgliosis?
