Any person can see that ordering 1+ million people to move in under 24 hours is not possible. It is unacceptable. The UN has already deemed the order “impossible” without “devastating humanitarian consequences.” Humanity is at stake. Nearly half are children. We must halt this

First two participants took part in this study today - they really enjoyed the VR screening tool, despite it being their first time in VR headset!

We're looking for #dyspraxic children and adolescents in Devon to help us validate a newly-developed virtual reality screening tool. Participants get a MABC-2 screening, compensation for their time (£30), and the chance to play some cool newly-developed VR games (please RT)

A recent letter we devised to continue the conversation re cortical reorganisation following peripheral nerve injury, and the cognitive mechanisms of hand selection. Could talk about this for days - let alone 500 words! Thanks @BP_neurosci for looping me in 🤗
