      My dog is called Stanley!
      I got put on a brain research project at university (looking at Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s) and really enjoyed it so stuck with neuroscience. The PhD project I got onto was all about making stem cell brain models with myelin, so they showed me how to grow the model brains 😊🧠
