“Say yes to opportunities, even if they seem daunting. Connect with like-minded researchers, ask for advice, and don’t be afraid to fail—every setback is a learning experience.” - Dr Yulu Shi, Clinical Research Fellow in Small Vessel Diseases, Stroke and Dementia

“Women make up half of the world and so should be half of those working in STEM at all levels of seniority.” - Anna Williams, Professor of Regenerative Neurology and Honorary Consultant Neurologist🔥

🚨 Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science! At the Row Fogo Centre, we're celebrating the incredible contributions of women in cerebral small vessel disease research. 🧠✨ #WomenInSTEM #IDWGS edin.ac/4guPbQV

New research in Annals of Neurology highlights the clinical significance of “caps” & “tracks” after lacunar stroke. These MRI markers could be crucial for predicting outcomes & tailoring post-stroke care. Full study: edin.ac/4gpEhvA #SmallVesselDisease

@UKStrokeForum @TheStrokeAssoc @WorldStrokeOrg @strokefdn We will also be discussing updates, site activation, and recruitment plans for 2025! If you’ve been part of LACI-2, we’d love to hear your experiences to ensure LACI-3 is even better!

Join us at the UK Stroke Forum in Liverpool! We’re hosting the LACI-3 Investigator Meeting on 5th December 2024—a unique opportunity to share insights and ideas about the world’s only Phase 3 trial for lacunar stroke, Small Vessel Disease, and vascular cognitive impairment 🧠
