March was a busy month. We had our fifth in-person Leducq Network meeting in New Haven (US), attended the ISMRM Neurofluids Workshop (also in New Haven) and as cherry on the cake visited beautiful Oxford for the Glymphatics and Brain Clearance symposium. Also, our Beth represented the lab at AD/PD in Copenhagen and gave a fabulous talk on her work.
