This is a GREAT idea!
In my open letter to the King in the Sunday Times today I suggest turning Buckingham Palace into a big museum like the Louvre and filling it with all the marvellous art in the Royal Collection. Itās such a good idea I fully expect it to be taken up! š

Great news for neurodegeneration in general and Parkinsonās in particular. I truly hope these advances will accelerate momentum and lead to similar breakthrough for less common neurodegenerative diseases! Congrats to @MichaelJFoxOrg and all those involved https://t.co/uhWy6YL1zK

Excellent article demonstrating the precarious position of brain banks in the UK. More funding is desperately needed. BBC News - Bristol centre storing brains for dementia research could shut https://t.co/S2z3zKEX8h

This is the case for all UK brain banks. Many researchers want to use the amazing resources that brain banks have for vital research. These resources cost money to run yet funding agencies and researchers think they can run on thin air!! #pathologymatters
Staff at the South West Dementia Brain Bank, based at Southmead Hospital in Bristol, are at risk of losing their jobs, and the bank under threat of closure without further funding - donations needed.
