Feeling so honoured to be a finalist for the Neuroscience Communicator Award at tonight's @womeninneurouk.bsky.social awards!

I'm up for the Neuroscience Communicator Award, along with some other brilliant women 💪🏾

Today, I'd like to share some of my highlights from the year 😊
The countdown is on for the WiNUK Awards 2025! 💜✨
An evening of inspiration, celebration & connection awaits — from our opening introductions to award presentations, keynote talks by Prof. Selina Wray & Dr. Carole Torsney, and networking with brilliant neuroscience minds. 🧠🌟
Aaand it's time for a special collab with my favourite nerds in the galaxy!

'Space Nerds' is a game where tortured analogies and cheesy similes can solve any scifi technobabble dilemma.

There'll be ear facts 👂, ear facts 🌽, and PUNS.

Managing to reply to this juuuust before the end of #ADHDAwarenessMonth because... I have ADHD! Working on this book helped me reflect on my experiences and, after a LOT of forms and waiting lists, I now have a deeper understanding of my very own wonderful brain 😊🧠

Grateful for everyone @'d below ⬇️
It's #ADHDawarenessmonth and I couldn't let it go by without mentioning All Brains Are Wonderful! 🧠 I loved editing this brilliant book and working with @thereaderteacher.bsky.social , The Boy Fitz Hammond, @sciwithrach.bsky.social and @bsmallpublishing.bsky.social
