and the team! PROTECT Study showing its versatility! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congrats, Riccardo Manca! Sexual minorities might be something we need to think about in Neuropsychiatric Syndromes PIA as well

Lovely memories of #AAIC23 and chatting to VJDementia about my favourite topic.

And lovely memories of Amsterdam in general (the t-shirt colour was entirely deliberate 🇳🇱)

New job, new office, new me! Exciting first day at UK Dementia Research Institute Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience 🤩

Little snippet about our project working with Milbotix trialling their Smart Sock #wearable for #dementia . We'll look at the feasibility/acceptability of using the socks in care homes, working closely with staff and people living with dementia to do so.

The response I received when very kindly asking a Cambridge Prof if they would share their GWAS sumstats, also said I’d include them as coauthors on any resulting papers… I.e. no, go and run the whole GWAS again yourself.

THIS IS BAD SCIENCE.

Also, not even a Dear Emma? Rude.

Postdoc job - Last few days to apply!

🚨Oh, go on then. One more tweet to remind you that there's two days left to get applications in for this post-doc in health #DataScience 🚨

We're very lucky to have a great innovation team at @UofE_Solutions. Working with industry very new to me so having the expertise of colleagues like Kourosh has been invaluable for this project

'Smart' socks using #AI and sensors to track heart rate, sweat levels & motion could help carers and care home staff prevent falls in people living with #dementia . We're joining with Milbotix to help evaluate their effectiveness.

SmartSocks that track distress in people living with #dementia could transform care - we are assessing their use in Southern Healthcare care homes.
