Two years ago, my mentee was diagnosed with cancer very young. It was sudden and unexpected. She was determined as heck though and filled with grit. Once things settled a little I offered her a project to work on to keep her distracted with NO timeline. 🧵 1/10

So amazing to see the line-up of ARVO talks and poster from UCL Institute of Ophthalmology researchers. Looking forward to visiting Seattle next week, where lab members Ana Alcafe Evangeline (Evie) Foster and 🌸Z🌸 will be presenting their work #ARVO2024

Had a great time presenting some of my postdoc research yesterday at #ARVO2024, as a first time attendee! Thanks for the support Dr Amanda-Jayne Carr Ana Alcafe 🌸Z🌸 UCL Institute of Ophthalmology (My face may not look happy but I was excited to be talking about AMD, macrophages and iPSCs!)

A reminder to those presenting their work as presentations/papers. - Your work is important - Don’t compare yourself to others - You don’t need to know everything - You know more than you think - People will be interested Present your research and have fun

Interested in finding out what it's like to attend your first ARVO meeting? Our student 🌸Z🌸 has written a wonderful review of her experience for UCL Institute of Ophthalmology news. Thanks to ARVO for her travel award and Moorfields Eye Charity for funding her project. ucl.ac.uk/ioo/news/2024/…

I'm 44. If you're still in your 20's, read this:

Bittersweet news as Alzheimer's drug #lecanemab has been licensed for use in Britain but won't be available on the #NHS. It's a remarkable achievement that we now have a drug that can slow Alzheimer's, but it's clear the NHS is not ready to deliver it.

First conference since leaving academia for industry. Excited for day 2 at #SCMND and for all things stem cell and neurodegeneration 🧠 🧫
