Today is the 1st day of the PhD conference on drug development for AD (PhD4AD) in Heraklion in Crete at FORTH. This conference has been organised by our PhD students in the TClock4AD consortium.

It's been great so far! Organisation is well done and talks really interesting and well-presented!

We hosted the first North East Fly Meeting today! It was great to connect with people from all over as well as the local universities. A great learning and networking opportunity for us all! Sometimes it's just great to talk flies with all fly people! @clarahowcroft.bsky.social @dpdoupe.bsky.social

Yay! I'm very excited that my ballot has been received in Pennsylvania! My 18yo son's too! It's a great feeling to vote! 😁❤️

This is what 50 looks like! 😀

I refreshed my lipstick & a newspaper man asked if he could use my picture! 😀
