We Need Your Help! We are a small group of UK Designers and Engineers trying to scale the production of a simple design of Face Shield to help prevent transmission of COVID 19. Are you involved with the manufacture or supply of foam, clear plastic film or elastic materials?

Great minds are coming together in Cambridge and they need more volunteers. ShieldNHS is a group of doctors and engineers who are making hundreds of face shields for local and national hospitals. Can you help? #BBCMakeADifference

AMAZING work from the #Lambeth CBRN team assembling #PPE faceshields for our NHS with ShieldNHS. They were incredibly motivated and managed to get this assembly line going in less than one day! THANK YOU GUYS London Fire Brigade

Thank you guys! #Lambeth CBRN doing amazing work with ShieldNHS, so chuffed and grateful you guys managed to get this up and running in just one afternoon!

Very interesting! Congrats Ben, I wonder if this is an example of the Cueing effect preventing freeze in #parkinsons, or maybe a shifting from cortically-directed movement to more reliance on spinal locomotor circuits... 🤔

The first #interview for CUE1 user testing has been carried out with @RicketyPD. The Team have learnt a lot about the challenges people with #Pakrinson's face. Thank you for your insights Ricky, we look forward to the testing. #challenge

It was an absolute pleasure to chat with the amazing Johnny Boyle, hear his story and learn about his physical and philosophical approaches to coping with #Parkinsons. Read the best bits of the interview here charconeurotech.co.uk/the-power-of-c…

Largest microbiome-wide association study to date finds overabundance of opportunistic pathogenic microbes in the #Parkinsonsgut, providing further novrl evidence for an unknown link between #Parkinsons & #guthealth. uab.edu/news/research/…

#peoplewithparkinsons, how comfortable are you with disclosing that you have/talking about #Parkinsons 's to friends, family, strangers? Do you ever feel pressured to talk or not talk about it? Do you prefer talking about it online?

Little bit of inspiration for people with and without #Parkinsons alike 😊 Ex-roofer diagnosed several years ago proves everyone wrong and redoes his own roof! reddit.com/r/nextfuckingl…

This video is from a recent user testing session the Charco team held in order to further validate our non-invasive wearable device CUE1 for people with #Parkinson's. youtube.com/watch?v=N-x_yb…

Was lovely to meet Jimmy Choi Jimmy Choi, an absolutely lovely guy! I hope to have done his #YOPD #parkinsons story justice in the article below. Please check out his fundraiser for michaeljfox.org where he will attempt to break the world record for no. of burpees in a minute!

CUE1 is a #wearable, #noninvasive device that uses vibration to relieve the movement symptoms of #Parkinsons. Some prospective users were kind enough to have us to test if the device helped them with a variety of movement tasks. Here are some of their reactions to using CUE1.

Wow awesome!! Is it weird I feel a bit of vicarious pride for Simone? Guess there isn't any need for my plywood version anymore :,)

Recent study shows genetic origins of #Parkinsons lie in dopamine neurons and oligodendrocytes, and not microglia, opposing role of neuroinflammation in DA neuron death. Important as this reconfirms that research focus should be on substantia nigra! nature.com/articles/s4146…

It was such a pleasure to meet the chair of Parkinson's UK @GaryShaughnessyCBE. Thank you so much for sharing your time to contribute in our #research
