Fantastic opportunity with @VersusArthritis!

2 years ago I started writing children’s books about how the immune system works in an engaging and accessible way. These stories take you on a fun journey with the ImmuNinjas! You can get all 3 books here & profits are donated to a few special charities: amazon.co.uk/ImmuNinjas-2-b…

As a VA fellow I can't recommend this funding opportunity enough! Vibrant and supportive community!

My third @VersusArthritis #Fellows meeting! Always enjoy catching up with everyone and we have a big UCL representation this year! Great first scientific session and now hearing about the importance of #PPI in research. Key message that we need to focus more on the ‘involvement’!

Junjie:P Congratulations Junjie:P on the Best Oral PhD Presentation Award! Well deserved!

It is estimated that 10,000 children under 16 years old have been diagnosed with #JIA. But it’s often overlooked and misunderstood.

Today is #WORDDay2025! An incredibly important cause to raise awareness of young rheumatic diseases and improve research, care, and support for patients. Please spread the WORD and and follow World Young Rheumatic Diseases Day (WORD Day) to find out more 👇
