Congratulations Abbie, Lauren and Yvonne on completing your NHS Grampian placements! Great to hear how much of a difference you've made to the patients this last year.
Looking forward to seeing you all in September for the final year of your @AbdnLifeScience MSCi degrees!
It’s been great working with you all. You have been a great part of our teams. Good luck with the thesis, looking forward to hearing about them in Oct. @aberdeenuni@ImageJen
I sketch cities. I'm attempting to sketch every city in the UK 🤓 I'm about to finish #Aberdeen it has taken an age - COVID took a big bite. Aberdeen is on the up, a gem of a place, some of the most astronomically beautiful buildings I have ever seen. 🤓
For those new to lecturing, help is at hand in the form of a series of video resources available on our Training Hub. Professor Matthew Mason of @Cambridge_Uni shares the topics & concepts covered in this #PhysiologyNews article: buff.ly/3Uo0UaZ
It’s our 10-year imaging anniversary! 🎉 We have been scanning the brains, hearts, bones & abdomens of tens of thousands of our volunteers for a decade now.

Honoured to be awarded the 2024 Principal's Excellence Award for Public Engagement with Research #lungevity . Great afternoon celebrating with my fellow winners!! @aberdeenuni@AberdeenCDC@AbdnLifeScience @Prof_DerekScott
Image 1: Cells grown in 100% sports drink with 10% FBS. Image 2: same, but 90:10 drink:DMEM.
Most of the cell are unhappy, but some are very much alive in 100%. In 90%? Totally happy.
Will do live/dead staining tomorrow so they'll have had a full 48 hours.
Interested in a potential DXA-based imaging biomarker for knee replacement surgery?
Our latest results based on data from @uk_biobank are now available (open access): sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
We are pleased to announce an excellent opportunity for @bota_uk UK Orthopaedic trained with an interest in infection. Come and join @BAJIR_UK Exec committee as our fellow for 24/25. See attached advert for details or DM us for info
The sunniest place in the UK in winter 2024 was the Moray coast, with upwards of 220 hours.
BUT, winter has 2184 hours, meaning that just 10% of the total hours had sun. Spare a thought for Lochaber & Glen Coe, though, where the sun shone just 3.7% of the total hours.
To share the healing power of live music, @MiHCUK visited Stroke Rehabilitation Unit to give our patients their very own concert. Research shows live music can heal and even the tapping of a finger is natural physiotherapy. Music can also evoke beautiful memories🎸🎶@NHSGrampian
Thank you @BritOrthopaedic for the invitation to contribute to your new Orthopaedics Online theme ‘AI/Digital Technology’.
I enjoyed putting this together to highlight the importance of data representation for AI innovations in healthcare.

Parivrudh Sharma & Helena Brech have published on their medical sciences Honours research project on use of virtual reality for surgical guidance. Students worked with Laura Perez-Pachon, and were supervised by Dr Flora Groening and Dr Jenny Gregory. (abdn.io/uE
Is AR ready to be used in surgery? Recent research explores how AR headsets like HoloLens can overlay virtual models for surgery, revealing that accuracy varies with model position and viewer distance producing significant errors in precision.
