To top off a great week of meetings in London with Abbas Dehghan, Mark Albers and other colleagues from Harvard University and MGH Neurology, we received news of our R01 NIH renewal to continue our work on drug repurposing for dementia 🎉🔝💯💪

Registering for a conference, but disappointed by their 'no-child' policy! We are missing out on amazing presentations, comments, and discussions, especially from female scientists. Dreaming of a future where conferences provide childcare facilities, rather than excluding them.

Our 5th online Mendelian randomisation course is on May 22-23. Invited speakers Prof Burgess Stephen Burgess Prof Butterworth Adam Butterworth Dr Yarmolinsky James Yarmolinsky Dr Karhunen Ville Karhunen and Dr Sanderson. imperial.ac.uk/school-public-…
