Recently, high school students joined us at the CNE as part of the Brain Bee 2025 programme.
Students got hands on experience using research techniques that we employ in our daily research
Thank you to BrainSTEM Otago and the Neurological Foundation for supporting this day!
Super proud of my MSc student being selected for the MediRay symposium talk at MedSci2025 Christchurch @cneotago.bsky.social
My team showcasing our research findings at MedSci2025, Christchurch @cneotago.bsky.social @universityofotago.bsky.social
We had a great seminar last week from @prolactinguy.bsky.social who talked to us about achieving impact from fundamental biomedical research with the ongoing changes to funding in Aotearoa
Very humbled to receive the Julia Buckingham Award by @bsneuroendo.bsky.social. Grateful to BSN for all the support over my PhD and also thanks to my incredible mentors @cneotago.bsky.social! Excited for more brain health and menopause research as a postdoc with @zuloagalab.bsky.social very soon π₯³
