Our stories this week include: 🧠 Genes That Power—and Challenge—Our Brains: Researchers have found two genes, exclusive to humans, that play a role in how our brains grow—and how they may link to autism and learning disorders. 💉 A New Contender in Alzheimer’s Fight: Semaglutide, a diabetes drug, has shown surprising promise in Alzheimer’s models, cutting brain plaques and boosting memory—opening up fresh possibilities in brain health! 🤖 Robo-Doc Ready for Duty: Imagine a soft robotic “finger” that can check pulses and find lumps, making exams more comfortable and accessible, especially where doctors are in short supply. A huge thank you to Roya for jumping in front of the camera this week, and a bigger thank you for providing some of the best bloopers we've captured to date... 👀 #LifeSciences #Neuroscience #AlzheimersResearch #biotech

Last week, we had the pleasure of attending Programme One’s inspiring Black History Month panel event. A huge thank you to Lenna Cumberbatch, Steven Fuller, Jennine Gibbs CertRP, Krysten Chantrelle, and Arsema Fessehazion CertRP for sharing your insights, stories, and invaluable advice on creating inclusive and supportive spaces within our workplaces, empowering people of colour to thrive in their careers and personal growth.

It's 15 years to the day since Hannah and Alastair sat down in small 3-person office in London to introduce Meet to the Life Sciences community for the first time ever. Since then, we have built offices across the US and Europe and have had the absolute privilege to place 1000s of people into some of the most innovative and life-changing companies around the globe. From that first day in 2009 to today, we've had an unwavering commitment to Life Sciences - championing the people that work in the industry and the companies that innovate in it. And that will never change. So thank you. Thank you to the people who continue to trust us with their careers, it's been a honour to follow and be part of your journeys. Thank you to the companies who trust us with their most important asset - their talent. And thank you to all Meet employees and friends past and present, your contribution and impact has all played a significant part in our story. But we are just beginning. We now look forward to the next 15 years as we continue to play our own part in innovation and playing a part in improving global health.
