Massive paper alert: We performed extensive profiling of PI-2620 for 4R tauopathies. PI-2620 tau PET signals in PSP stem from neuronal and oligodendroglial tau, not astrocytes. Signals correlate with fibrillary tau, autoradiography, and autopsy data in PSP doi.org/10.1007/s00401-024-0…

Equitable dementia diagnosis requires us to understand how people from minoritised groups experience symptoms and seek help. Great work led by Christine Carter and @ClaudiaACooper1 from our @NIHRresearch funded EQUATED study.

Trainees will be restricted to only 3 applications for ACF posts from next year. I can't see that this is truly in the interests of those who are trying to follow an academic training career pathway who need and deserve as much flexibility and choice from the system as possible.

I am immensely proud that the NHS I work in is one of the most multi-ethnic and diverse organisations in the world.
NHS colleagues and emergency workers from many countries and faiths work around the clock to serve every UK community. You have my utmost appreciation and respect.

I’m proud that people from nearly 200 countries work in our NHS.
I completely condemn this racist violence and stand with our staff and the communities they live and work in. Thank you to our emergency services who are working hard to keep everyone safe.
