The program for the Turku PET Symposium 2025 @TurkuPETCentre has now been released. Looking forward to the astonishing lectures, sauna party and some serious grooving a the conference dinner & parties! turkupet2025.fi/programme

Tästä kimposi rinnakkaisajatus: koulun tulisi olla politiikkavapaa vyöhyke. Saako hankala vanhempi hilloa myös siitä, jos lapsia eksytetään poliittisesti tunnustavalla viestillä? yle.fi/a/74-20120235


Humans spontaneously help each other and even put their own lives at risk for saving strangers. Our latest @TurkuPETCentre collaboration with @sbl_nin now out in @CommsBio reveals that variability in brain's opioid receptor tone mediates altruistic helping nature.com/articles/s4200…

Yrittäjistä ja johtavassa asemassa olevista suurempi osuus näkee Suomen menevän parempaan suuntaan verrattuna koko väestöön. Tämä on hyvä merkki talouskasvun käynnistymisen kannalta. Tähän vain lisää kasvua vauhdittavia päätöksiä niin entistä suurempi osuus alkaa nähdä maamme…

Looking for a version of the MoCA that can be administered over the phone and was reminded of the Impossible MoCA, which is always fun to give to anxious colleagues. "Just a standard test I give to all my patients".
