New paper out! We discuss breaking barriers towards credible research & share findings from our workshop at #BNA2025 on supporting ECRs in doing credible science🧠
Loved working with @josefinaw.bsky.social, Roni Tibon & Tobias Bast on this project!

What are the biggest barriers PhDs/ECRs are facing in doing credible research?
The outcomes of a workshop on this topic at #BNA2025 @britishneuro.bsky.social, co-authored with the amazing @rachelga.bsky.social, Tobias Bast & Roni Tibon are available here 😊: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

An entire month since #BNA2025, I really hope everyone has fully recovered (and turned in all of their refund requests to their departments...)

Thank you @britishneuro.bsky.social!
Last month was a busy one for the Network's scientists. Some of our MURIDAE cluster members and associates attended the @britishneuro.bsky.social (BNA) #BNA2025 and organised a symposium. Read our short report on the work they showcased! nmgn.mrc.ukri.org/news/bna-fes... @mrcharwell.bsky.social
Tim Craig presented a poster & talk entitled 'Dysfunctional neuronal differentiation links type-2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease'. #BNA2025 #neuroscience #Alzheimers #Diabetes
@cromptonoid.bsky.social jointly organised a symposium on Astrocytes in Brain disorders, where she delivered a keynote talk entitled 'HiPSC models to study astrocyte-mediated alpha-synuclein pathology in Parkinson's disease'. #BNA2025 #neuroscience #Parkinsons #Astrocytes
@cromptonoid.bsky.social & Tim Craig attended the @BritishNeuro International Festival of Neuroscience last month. #BNA2025 #neuroscience

What were your highlights from this year's BNA Festival 2025? 🧠🤔
We loved meeting so many inspiring neuroscience researchers! 👩🔬👨🔬
We asked 15 of them to share their favourite memory from the @britishneuro.bsky.social event: ow.ly/FSQQ50VPYZ3
#BNA2025 #neuroscience #scienceconferences #lifescience
A massive thank you to our incredible speakers for their thought provoking and engaging talks at our symposium at #BNA2025! 👩🔬✨
We had a powerful panel and we heard from women across all career stages spanning England and Wales.

I urge colleagues with relevant expertise to co-sign this letter against the narrow interpretation of biology which seeks to exclude trans, NB, intersex, & gender non-conforming people from policy.
#BNA2025 showed that Neuroscience is a diverse & inclusive field that understands biology is complex.
What a #BNA2025 it was.
From plenaries to podcasts, keynotes to cathedrals, it was brilliant.
Many thanks to everyone who contributed and made it such a brilliant success 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A special shoutout to @tspiresjones.bsky.social, Kate Baker and @emmayhnell.bsky.social, for their engaging taster sessions, which were very well received by #BNA2025 attendees.
What a week at #BNA2025! Liverpool truly exceeded expectations, and so did the festival!
I am especially proud of the session I chaired, where Charlotte Shepherd and I showcased the work of @britishneuro.bsky.social Accreditation and Training working group.
From Tau2025 to #BNA2025 @britishneuro.bsky.social in Liverpool! We had the opportunity to host a session on Glial Mechanisms in Primary Tauopathy, sponsored by ARUK. Our PhD student Lois Keavey gave a super talk, followed by Dr. Aitana Sogorb-Esteve and Prof. Delphine Boche 🧠🧠🧠
Had a fantastic time at #BNA2025. Really enjoyed connecting with fellow neuroscientists, sharing ideas, and getting inspired by all the amazing research!

#BNA2025 @britishneuro.bsky.social wrapped up yesterday!
Really enjoyed sharing our SMQB seedcorn project on depression vs. psychosis using resting-state MRI with
@alikhatibi.bsky.social and Abhirup Ghosh.
Big thanks to everyone who stopped by and asked great questions!
Some of the Dickens Lab attended #BNA2025 this week -right here in our home city of Liverpool! 🧠✨
Fantastic to see such a wide range of neuroscience topics and brilliant presentations throughout the festival. #Neuroscience #BNA #Liverpool

"In complex projects like GALENOS that face the challenge of how to deliver meaningful lived experience engagement, we must get used to discomfort. If you're experiencing this, it likely indicates that you're on the right path."
