So proud of Bianca Hill for being awarded an @mscanadaofficial.bsky.social PhD studentship! Congrats Bianca 🎉🎉🎉!!!

Excited to have you here!

🚨 PhD Programme – Vascular Dementia Research

New 4-year PhD funded by BHF & UK DRI on vascular mechanisms in dementia.

Training across UCL, Oxford, Leicester & Edinburgh with lab rotations.

📅 Deadline: 14 April
🎓 Start: Sept 2026

Apply: CV + statement + 2 refs → neurophd@ucl.ac.uk

Please share!

Today we had an Olympic lunch celebrating all the different countries and cultures represented in our lab, whilst watching the women's hockey final of course 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇩🇪🇬🇭🇬🇧🇮🇳

Peer Review Timelines Show Gender Gap, Large Study Reports A study of millions of life science papers revealed that manuscripts with women in key authorship roles spent longer between submission and acceptance.

Study of 8M biomed & life science articles finds those led by women spent 7 to 15 days longer in review than those led by men. Over a career, women's papers could spend 350 to 750 additional days in review. Delays could slow promotion, esp to full professor. www.the-scientist.com/women-s-rese...

Huge congratulations, excited to read it!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Might I add how cool it was to see Shimon Sakaguchi speak in the morning then win the Nobel that afternoon! 🤯

It was an absolute honour to receive the ISNI mid career award at ISNI2025. A huge thanks to my wonderful lab members, mentors and colleagues past & present, and the supportive Neuroimmunology community. Thanks to Shannon Dunn for the photo! Now off to enjoy Japan 🍜⛩️🏯

I hope this Nobel Prize gets people talking meaningfully about our amazing immune systems and the importance of basic research to human health (and funding basic research).

I am also glad young women get to see that women can not only work at this level, but that those who do can get recognized.
