Everyone needs a distraction at the moment. Some time ago I was asked to discuss and demystify #nystagmus - when does it reflect a concerning pathology? Being in isolation with Covid, now seemed time to take on the challenge! An ‘eye-boggling’ #tweetorial. #meded #neurotwitter 🧵

@daniyal_jafree Congrats @daniyal_jafree! A day you’ll remember for sure!

After a wild four years… my PhD thesis is sent. A mix of emotions including relief(!), sadness (my time in the best lab with the best supervisor is over) and excitement (it’s actually not over at all). Thank you to all who helped me on this journey. Examiners: soz for the typos

Aspiring medics without the connection to friends and family to help are struggling to find work experience during the pandemic! Sending out this ask to doctors who could help? 🙏🏾 forms.gle/UvdUngMFrfa4AJ…

@drsheikhmo @RCSEd Congrats Mr Momin!

Delighted to attend my #MRCS diploma ceremony at @RCSEd. Onwards and upwards! #surgeoninprogress

@rebeccajshipley @ucl @uclh @UCLHresearch @uclmecheng Congratulations Becky!

Its very surreal to be awarded an OBE for our @ucl Ventura CPAP programme. It has been a team effort like no other. From our core team with Mervyn Singer, David Brealey @uclh @UCLHresearch, Tim Baker @uclmecheng (who I am lucky to now count as dear friends)... [1/3]

Excited to share our new review! How natural biomaterials affect the behaviour of cells involved in peripheral nerve tissue engineering, with @PhillipsLab frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

@kienmh @UCLU_SurgSoc @TheUnionUCL Awesome! Well done @UCLU_SurgSoc! Having been there and got the T-shirt I know just how much hard work goes on behind the scenes to pull of all the fabulous events that are run! Thoroughly well deserved to all involved and a great achievement!

Delighted that @UCLU_SurgSoc won ‘Society Of the Year ‘ award 2021 🏆@TheUnionUCL, well deserved effort from the entire committee in such a challenging year. Really proud of this team ❤️

@DrJenwae Really try to solidify what your key/central message is and then try to convey that. That way, it doesn't matter if you go 'off script'! Best of luck for your talk - sure it will be great! Enjoy!

Providing my first oral presentation as an FY doctor tomorrow for #VASC2021 #Nervous How do you overcome stage fright?

@adelkhan24 Thank you! Hope it was useful!

Some great pieces of advice from @drrdb93 at #VASC2021 : - let perfectionism slide - seek out good mentors - be proactive in seeking new opportunities - LEARN TO SAY NO - do a PhD for the right reasons Thanks for a great presentation Richard
