Congratulations from all of us at Alzheimer's Research UK to Dr Selina Wray who's received the #AAICNeuro Excellence in Neuroscience Mentoring Award.
Congratulations to the University College London’s Selina Wray, Ph.D., recipient of the #AAICNeuro Excellence in Neuroscience Mentoring Award. A tireless advocate for mentoring early stage researchers, Dr. Wray is dedicated to supporting those under-represented in science, providing personal mentorship and hosting research placements for students who are the first in their families to study at university.

Truly humbled to be recognised as one of The The Transmitter's Rising Stars of #Neuroscience 2025.
This recognition reflects not just my work, but the collective effort of colleagues, students, mentors, and partners across Nigeria, the UK, USA and beyond who are helping advance our work in #dementia #iPSc.
In @_TheTransmitter's Rising Stars of Neuroscience 2025, we recognize 25 early-career researchers who have made outstanding scientific contributions and demonstrated a commitment to mentoring and community-building in neuroscience. #StateOfNeuroscience

I am deeply honoured and truly humbled to receive this congratulatory letter from the #Yobe State Government, #Nigeria issued under the directive of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of the State, on the award of my @wellcometrust Career Development Award.
This recognition not only affirms the importance of our work on #Alzheimer’s disease and #neuroscience in Africa but also highlights the state's commitment to championing innovation and scientific excellence.
I am sincerely grateful to His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni, the Secretary to the State Government, and the people of Yobe for their continued support.
This letter serves as a strong reminder that #science conducted in and for #Africa matters, and that when institutions and governments invest in science, the ripple effect can be transformative.
