Yesterday we hosted the first network conference in Bristol, providing an opportunity for researchers from different institutions to network and create possible future collaborations, moving forward dementia research.

The day saw a fantastic array of presentations, ranging from new dementia diagnosis tools to the utility of brain banks in this field. A special thanks to @Proteintech , @mshedbristol , and to all of our presenters for making the day what it was.

Excellent couple of days at the @BritishSleepSoc #polysomnography (PSG) course. A really interesting course learning how conduct PSG studies, recognise artefacts and score #sleep stages. Looking forward to attending similar courses in the future!

If I wasn't thinking about purchasing a @ChiliSleep product before, I definitely am now 🥵❄️
Excessively hot nights caused by #ClimateChange are predicted to increase the mortality rate by up to 60% by the end of the century, new research suggests. Nighttime heat may interrupt #sleep, and less sleep may lead to higher risk of diseases & illnesses. unc.live/3zIRSeb
