Exploring the link between Arts Interventions and Degenerative Brain Conditions
Tuesday 26 July 2022, 5.00pm - 8.30pm, Telegraph Hotel, Coventry City Centre
Can making and experiencing art help maintain a healthy brain? How might art be used to help people with degenerative brain conditions such as Alzheimer鈥檚 or dementia?
We know that great art can stir the emotions, but now it looks like it can actually improve brain function, (raise serotonin levels and impact on your nervous system). And these benefits don't just come from making art, they also occur by experiencing art!
In this free event, hear from our fantastic line up of researchers (in rehabilitation medicine and neuroscience) from the University of 糖心TV who will be joined by local artists, authors, care home workers and representatives from local charities. All the speakers will ignite discussion around the link between the Arts and the brain, and how the Arts can be used to improve the quality of lives of those that have been affected by degenerative brain conditions.

Research Invitation
As a medical student, the topic of organ donation is one that has been discussed a few times during my education. However, I would like to explore if it is the same for students studying other courses and investigate whether sciences-based students and arts-based students are likely to have a differing understanding and opinions of organ donation. Since English law changed in May 2020 to an opt-out rather than opt-in system and that there are currently, 5972 people awaiting a transplant in the UK, the topic seems as important as ever.
I am looking for participants to complete an anonymous, online questionnaire to investigate students current understanding of organ donation (i.e. what can be donated and who can donate). Additionally, I am exploring scenarios around life-sustaining treatments and investigations necessary for successful transplants and if this is ethically acceptable to participants.
This has been approved by the BSREC ethics committee.
If you would like to take part, then please read the information leaflet attached to this email. Alternatively, please use the link below to access the cover sheet and questionnaire:

The Computational Toolkit: HetSys Student-Led Seminar Series
The series includes a programme of talks focussing on key computational skills which are used in everyday research and will feature talks from HetSys PhD students as well as guests from other centres and organisations.
The aim of this series is to create a "computational toolkit" of resources and tutorials, aimed at helping those just beginning in the field, and offering a more practical introduction to computational science as a whole. It will cover a range of topics relevant to someone who鈥檚 just taking an interest in computational science as a whole, or a programming tool, but will also include talks on more complex tools.
The website is here: /fac/sci/hetsys/outreach/toolkit/ and has details of the upcoming talks.
The series kicks off on the 1st February at 4pm, and will run weekly at that time via YouTube Live.
