One of the finest examples of prehistoric rock art was discovered in #Clydebank at the end of the 19th century. Buried again in 1965 for protection, UofG's Dr Kenny Brophy & team excavated the @cochnostone again in 2016 to conduct intricate digital scans and documentationā›ļøšŸ”¬
Tonight MSPs at @ScotParl will recognise the importance of the work undertaken by Dr Brophy, @UofGArchaeo and the countless volunteers from the Clydebank community who helped, including the local fire brigade - seen here helping to clean the stonešŸ‘Øā€šŸš’šŸš’ Image
After the 2016 excavation, with all recordings and measurements taken, the @cochnostone was reburied for posterity once again. @urbanprehisto was hopeful the site would one day feature a visitor centre for future generations of archaeologists #WorldChangingGlasgow #TeamUofG

At the UofG press conference for the FIELD study results, published today @NEJM, @UofGMVLSā€™s @WillStewNeuro says ā€˜This is the largest study to date looking at the incidence of neurodegenerative disease in any sport not just former professional footballersā€™
#WorldChangingGlasgow Image
Commenting on the findings from this landmark UofG led study @WillStewNeuro says: ā€˜Although former pro football players had a higher risk of death from neurodegenerative disease, they are less likely to die of other common diseases, such as heart disease and some cancersā€™. Image
ā€˜Looking in detail at neurodegenerative disease subtypes, the study revealed risk ranged from a 5-fold increase in #AlzheimersDisease, through an approximately 4-fold increase in #MND, to a 2-fold risk for #Parkinsons Disease, compared to population controlsā€™ @WillStewNeuro
