22.01.2022 Have you ever heard of brain or cognitive training? As we get older, we tend to use our brains less as everyday tasks become familiar and we fall into a thoughtless routine.

There are plenty of fun and interesting ways to keep your brain active and training. Whatever activity you choose, make sure it is new and challenging to you! Learn a complex skill game like chess Read a new book Visit a place you've never been before Learn to play a musical instrument Try new foods Join an activity like sport or dance Try a new art or craft Learn a language Download a brain training app

17.01.2022 Jeans for Genes Day #jeansforgenesau Sadly, 1 in 20 children are born with a birth defect or genetic disease. Genetic diseases are caused by errors in our DNA, the instructions for making ‘us’. DNA is the source of information for all the cells in our body, telling them what to do every second of every day. When something goes wrong with those instructions, it means some part of our body doesn’t function properly, leading to a life-threatening genetic disease like cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, metabolic disorders or even cancer. The best way to treat or cure many of these conditions is to correct the problem at the source, to correct the DNA. That’s what gene therapy does.

10.01.2022 #WeRememberThem In Flanders fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow... Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. John McCrae (18721918)
