Encouraging to hear from Dr. Marciel & MJD research to date that there is a lot of potential for treatment and modifying the disease before cell death, before mice and fish (and humans) are symptomatic. Inspiring progress #MJDconf2019

Powerful final words from Prof. Jardim @ #MJDconf2019 All ppl living with MJD are brothers and sisters with shared ancestors.. our role as clinicians & researchers is to improve QOL, & to fight for universal access to info, care and new therapies in a world of huge inequality

"I speak 7 languages. My speech is the symptom that affects my quality of life the most" from #MJDconf2019 patient panel. #slpeeps need to continue to develop and support multi-lingual #AAC options. Only English is not enough. Speaking in our mother tongue is crucial to our QOL.

Conferences: a time to differentiate between the arrogant sexist academics that you should remove from your reference list and the respectful, inspiring and impressive ones! #hiddencurriculum #phdchat

Inspired by Prof Hyter's experience of "leaning into an alternative story" when racism rears it's head. We all need to listen and share alternative stories to decolonise our work #spaconf
