Quite right 😊
I'm guessing academic papers and not newspapers 😭
Of course! That would require remorse and humility.

You can use zinc oxide tape, athletic strapping tape or kinesiology tape, that has more stretch.
Congratulations to the wonderful Natialia 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I'm absolutely delighted that this paper is published, as part of the PhD work of Dr Louie Lee. It outlines a mixed methods evaluation of the Neuromuscular Bridges Self-management intervention using a hybrid feasibility-implementation design. Access it here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Reads: The Fellowship from the NIHR gives me protected time over the next five years to lead major research projects in two rare neurological conditions, which will aim to improve rehabilitation for patients. I’ll bring on board a postdoctoral research physiotherapist to work alongside me. It’s a huge opportunity to advance rehabilitation research for people living with rare neurological conditions.
🎉 Many congratulations to Dr @gitaramdharry.bsky.social on being awarded a £1.6M NIHR Fellowship!
She will be leading research into two rare neurological conditions: CMT and CANVAS.

I find painting mindful and it refreshes my thinking. All so important for the day job ☺️

Science and creativity go hand in hand. I'm blessed to have a brother who is a portrait artist and teacher. He's helped me on my journey to rediscover my love of art. On the left is a charcoal drawing of a bust of Brutus from 2017, the start of that journey 1/3
