Dr Di Virgilio @ThomasDiVi I presume - brilliant job! We are all proud of you PhysExNutr UStir Magdalena Ietswaart

I am delighted to talk as part of this year's Pint of Science Festival. I am in Stirling and the theme for tonight: The Beautiful Mind pintofscience.co.uk/event/beautifu…

#UofStirling experts @ThomasDiVi Angus Hunter and Magdalena Ietswaart discuss their latest study into the impact that routine sparring in boxing can have on brain performance in the The Conversation. Read the article here: stir.ac.uk/2rc #StirFHSS

Should football players be banned from heading? After a study showed professional players were 3.5x more likely to die of dementia, the Scottish FA consider a heading ban for under 12s. But does the science support this? Read more in our #RealityCheck: bit.ly/2XgwIQP

Looking forward to presenting Alan Shearer with an honorary degree at University of Stirling today. We worked together on the important science story looking at the direct effects of football heading on the brain. Watch the original BBC News (UK) coverage here: youtube.com/watch?v=prNtc9….

Today @stiruni presented Alan Shearer with an hon. degree recognising raising awareness on the effects of football heading on the brain. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved (BBC Dr Willie Stewart Dawn Astle MBE) but still lots of work to be done on the many questions remaining unanswered.

It was amazing to have my viva with Edward De Haan, @KeiCetel and @DudchenkoPaul . Many thanks to Lesley McGregor and to my supervisors Magdalena Ietswaart Dimitrios Kourtis, David I Donaldson and Martin Gareth Edwards to made real this journey. Finally I am a doctor.

IJERPH | Free Full-Text | Repeated Sub-Concussive Impacts and the Negative Effects of Contact Sports on Cognition and Brain Integrity New publication! Raise awareness #concussion #subconussion new literature review mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/1…

We know concussion is bad for the brain, but what about routine head impact in sport, e.g. soccer heading? Here is our analysis of what we do and don’t know, and what research is needed. mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/1…

An exciting new research phase in which we look in mind-blowing detail at the brain before and after football heading. This follows our analysis of the little that is known about what heading does to the brain mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/1…

Important initiative getting Sport and Dementia on the research agenda. Proud to have worked with Alzheimer's Research UK and The Health Policy Partnership on this research priorities report. Hopeful we bring about change in priority. alzheimersresearchuk.org/wp-content/upl…

November was a good month: Magda Mustile graduated on her PhD Thesis: THE NEURAL CORRELATES OF ACTION REPRESENTATION IN THE REAL WORLD.

November was a good month: proud of Michail Ntikas, PhD passing (with flying colours) his viva on his PhD Thesis: WATCH YOUR HEAD: BRAIN NEUROPHYSIOLOGY AND CONTACT SPORTS.

November was a good month: Ali Muqtadir Ali Muqtadir made a flying start with his Medical Research Scotland PhD studentship with us: Football and dementia: Understanding the brain-health consequences of football heading.
