1. I wanted to extend my deepest gratitude for the warm welcome and incredible hospitality extended to me during my stay @AICjanelia with @ScopeShifu and the team. It was truly an enriching experience to learn about the groundbreaking work you've being doing. It's quiteAmazing – at Virginia, USA
We have enjoyed having @umar_kundi visit to learn about the work that we do in the @AICjanelia and in @I2Janelia. Wishing him safe travels home!

On Saturday, 3rd October 2026, I attended an event organised by Kambiya Development Initiative in partnership with several other organisations to launch a mini project titled β€œVoices from the Camps”.It was inspiring to see the good work they have been doing with limited resource.

Three and a half years later, the evidence that Nigeria's economic outlook has improved is undeniable. Our economy has grown by over 4 per cent this year. Both oil and non-oil sectors have contributed to the renewed period of stable growth. Oil theft is down. Inflation has fallen substantially from its peak. - Bola Tinubu, President of Nigeria #CTVTweets

Over 200 km 4 a day of science at BioRTC We welcomed 80 #Anatomy students & 3 lecturers from Sa’adu Zungur University, Gadau, Bauchi. Their journey speaks to an important part of why BioRTC exists: to make research infrastructure, expertise & training accessible in our region

Really excited to see this new capability come to BioRTC! Bringing retinal imaging into our #SAHELStudy opens an exciting opportunity to examine the eye alongside cognition, biomarkers, genetics, and other clinical data in our ageing and dementia cohort in northern Nigeria. Beyond the research, this will also help expand access to retinal imaging in clinical research in our region. A population this diverse, this understudied, and this important to global dementia science deserves to be at the centre of discoveries like this. I cannot wait to see what we find.
Retinal Imaging Comes to the SAHEL Study A Topcon Maestro2 optical coherence tomography (OCT) retinal imaging system has arrived @BioRTCNig. This will allow us to investigate relationships between the eye, brain ageing and dementia in our SAHEL cohort of 1,100+ participants.
