An enjoyable day yesterday at the UK-Japan Neuroscience Symposium, including showing Michisuke Yuzaki (Keio University), Sharifah Anoar (UCL), and Kenji Doya (Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology) around Cambridge, followed by an engaging poster session.
First grant! 🎉
Extremely grateful to the Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (ACT) for supporting this research. Also very grateful to my supervisor, David Rubinsztein, for his support (including a lot of feedback on my proposal, teaching me how to work out a budget, and letting me stay a bit longer).
🧠Sharing this Starter Pack again as the list has now reached 80 people! A great mix of Profs/PIs/Post-docs/PhDs/Technicians.
Please re-post so it can reach a wider audience as I'm sure there are more of us out there ☺️🦋

Belated #Connectome day 2 post as there was too much fantastic science and great fun to post at the time! Highlights on Tuesday include an incredible keynote by Erin Schuman, Rory Cellan-Jones discussing his experiences and giving us scientists a good grilling, and a wonderful conference dinner!
I'll be following up on some findings from my PhD regarding a potential physiological role of Huntingtin. With the recent incredibly exciting success of Huntingtin-targeting genetic therapies for Huntington's disease, understanding these physiological roles is even more important!
