Bart De Strooper: ‘Bright young scientists won’t come to join us in UK’ theguardian.com/society/2019/j…

We are excited to announce that Professor Matthew Botvinick, Director of Neuroscience Research at DeepMind (London), will give the plenary lecture “AI and Neuroscience: a virtuous circle?” at the 12th UK-Korea Neuroscience Symposium, The Francis Crick Institute London, 12-13th August.

Major new trial in Huntington’s disease. “It will take two years to complete, but it should tell us if we have a winner on our hands: a drug that could potentially improve patients’ lives. I am rightly cautious but hopeful.” Prof Sarah Tabrizi UK Dementia Research Institute UCL theguardian.com/science/2019/m…

Feels culturally engrained in the biological sciences that we judge experimental results by the "holy grail" of p<0.05. I still try and nudge students away from this, but it's difficult when such emphasis is put on "significant" findings in publishing nature.com/articles/d4158…

Abstract Submission for the 12th UK-Korea Neuroscience Symposium is now OPEN! Submit by 31st May 2019 to showcase your #neuroscience research at The Francis Crick Institute, London. Accepted abstracts will be considered for short oral presentations. bit.ly/2FUcGEO

Join us and many exciting speakers on the 27th of June 2019 for the UK Dementia Research Institute at King’s College London (King's College London) “Synapse Symposium: Physiology and Pathophysiology in Synapse”. Please register at bit.ly/2VwQENS (limited spaces available).

Good luck and a massive thank you to all those running today's #Londonmarathon for the #dementiarevolution 🏆 These funds bring us a step closer to breakthroughs in #dementia research and treatments for patients. See you at Mile 25!

Yessss... at last this is online!! Please come join Marc and myself to generate and characterise new stem cell lines to understand the neurobiology of FTD and ALS. **Deadline 2nd June** 😀😀

We're excited to announce the first of our Directors’ Strategic initiatives: A new £2M gene therapy core facility at @KingsUKDRI. Led by Prof Shaw it will realise the potential of adeno-associated virus (AAV), particularly in frontotemporal #dementia. bit.ly/2NLkPBq #FTD

Thank you so much to Chris Evans & his listeners, who raised over £300k for Dementia Revolution and the UK DRI! 🍾🥳 These vital funds will help our researchers find treatments faster for people with #dementia 🧠🧪 We hope the bidders have an amazing time at TCSAmsterdamMarathon!🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Our Daniel Jutzi just presented his data on FUS being a unique splicing factor in the RNP dynamics in neurological disease session at the EMBO RNP networks conference in Ljubljana 😍 along with another great talk on FUS and TDP-43 by Magda Polymenidou @PolymenidouLab

Excited to start 2 days of hearing about amazing #dementia research #connectome2019 UK Dementia Research Institute Adrian Isaacs Lab

#Connectome2019 Amaaaazing talk from Daniel Jutzi from Ruepp Lab Such a clear presentation of molecular data of FUS in #MND Proud of @Kings_UKDRI

I saw a guy exploring his data today. No Python. No R. No Stata. He just sat there. Looking at tables of numbers. Like a Psychopath.
