Melon Mag, Vol. 1

Cut out the Neuro noise. Get the latest and greatest in brain health, direct to your inbox.

February 15, 2024

to our very first readers ; WELCOME

We can’t thank you enough for being here.

Melon Mag has been developed by the research team at Brainland to help you cut through the noise and get the information that matters to you.

In our age of infinite digital information, we want to minimise the chaos, and get to the heart of important issues that effect all of us.

As a female owned and run company, our ethos is always underpinned by empowering women to be informed and active in understanding their health. Currently, women are hugely underrepresented in research.

While this won’t change overnight, the advances in brain health (and science as a whole!) are happening every. single. day.

That’s why, on top of bringing you the latest and greatest - you’ll also get a quick summary of what this means for individuals, for women, and where all that juicy info sits in the context of the world of science more broadly. We can’t wait to have you on this journey.

The MM Team.
