AI is reshaping research in Australia 🤖🔬 Check out this discussion series 👇 AI will transform methods, infrastructure, funding models, skills and regulation Let's harness the opportunities and manage the risks. 🇦🇺📈 buff.ly/MLle3B1 #SciencePolicy #AIinScience #ResearchFunding #AusScience

Australia’s fundamental research funding is quietly being eroded 🚨. World-class science can’t survive without sustained investment — and current R&D reforms are ignoring the problem. This puts innovation, talent, and our future economy at risk. 🔬🇦🇺

🚨 Changing views in our understanding of atherosclerosis buff.ly/1LreIX2 #CardioSky #MedSky

For my #CFD #CAD peeps: 🧠 Findings: Resting conditions → flow-split ≈ multiscale (no significant difference). ⚠️ Under hyperaemia → flow-split overestimated shear stress and underestimated FFR, especially in severe stenosis. ➡️ High exponents (≈3.0) gave the best match. Thats right 😀

Atherosclerosis has emerged as a worldwide issue 🌍 no longer limited to Western countries! It affects younger and diverse ethnic groups and women. Thrombotic complications are beyond the old 'vulnerable plaque' concept. Atherosclerotic diseases are ubiquitous buff.ly/1LreIX2 #CardioSky

How is a teaching workload not considered in post-PhD years? 40% FTE research by contract (often < for juniors) and yet being compared to 100% research. It makes no sense!!! Every year the gap widens! Esp bad for women! #ecrchat #research #academicchatter

🫀💡We've shown that the coronary artery's anatomy can predict early atherosclerosis. ✅ 127 CTCA ✅ 11 anatomical features ✅ >75% of flow variance explained 👉 New risk markers via routine imaging 🔗 buff.ly/TtzDuRI #CardiovascularResearch #ImagingBiomarkers #CTCA #Bioengineering #UNSW

💡 Coronary shape + flow differences underpin why women show more non-obstructive CAD while men develop earlier, obstructive disease This moves us closer to sex-specific risk prediction and therapy in coronary artery disease. 🔗 buff.ly/gcJro2v #ScientificResearch #ImagingBiomarkers #Cardiology

‼️THIS! 🔗Scientists are publishing too many papers—and that’s bad for science buff.ly/sE2NMVA It’s not constructive anymore. Breeding ground for high h-index but low impact . It becomes meaningless!

He’s 90% fur, and 10% attitude ❤️

Meet the #svmg team Raiden, he stared his PhD a year ago, developing a new biomechanical model of how diseases arteries evolve, weaken or heal over time. Such a model offer new therapeutic pathways and more informed clinical decision making to save people from heart attacks 🫀

Meet the team: Hao is a PhD student working on artifact reduction in CT coronary angiography. His work has helped reduce error in annotations for better image assessment advancing frontiers in cardiovascular health 🫀 🔗 buff.ly/l4A9GjX

My heartfelt condolences to anybody at affected by the attack yesterday and especially to the Jewish community. Let’s stand united in the condemnation of this horrific violent act 💔

#UNSW will have a women only STEM college- this is such a fantastic initiative, I’m just over the moon #WomanInSTEMM

Have you seen the new guide by the #nhmrc yet on *how to assess and develop research using AI* ? 👉 buff.ly/3yv6WbT 💡Human agency, transparency, robustness,bias, reliability, and safety are all key

🤯 Check this out: buff.ly/GFZIgjE 💡 Why this matters: Patient-specific coronary simulations are powerful—but computationally demanding. Simpler flow-split boundary conditions are sometimes sufficient! No multiscale needed

🚨 fresh off the press 👉 Are Ultrathin Stents Optimal for Bifurcation Lesions? Insights From Computational Modeling of Provisional and DK-Crush Techniques 🔗

Great podcast all on the world of higher ed. I enjoyed this recent episode especially: the world education and review 2025 🌎👩‍🏫 🔗

AI tools can save time, but treating them like gospel is a fast track to deskilling. If we stop learning how to think and just let AI spit answers, we lose the skill itself. I’m especially worried about kids being encouraged to use AI like it’s normal and missing real learning. #AI #ResponsibleAI

Our @SciReports study shows that simple CT-based geometry of the left main predicts flow disturbances driving plaque formation. No CFD. No stenosis. Just anatomy → risk insight. 🫀 🔗 buff.ly/AZt0Ypo #CardiovascularScience #CTCA #ImagingBiomarkers #Atherosclerosis

Great insights by Prof Kerry Anne Rye on shaping an academic career #CVMM @unswmedicine @georgeinstitute @garvaninstitute @victorchangInst

I pay rent. He pays in vibes 🐶❤️

- Women have smaller, more curved vessels and larger inflow angles - Men had larger diameters - Low shear zones shifted inward in females, outward in males 👉 These flow signatures may explain sex-specific patterns of plaque formation and SCAD risk 🤯 🔗

Reflecting back on a wonderful evening at the @CISOZ Annual Gala Dinner — thought-provoking discussions, inspiring speeches, and great company. Always a highlight to celebrate ideas, debate, and independent thinking in good spirit. 🌟 #CISGala #SydneyEvents

I had a wonderful time at the @theasmr1 gala dinner with old and new friends a little while back!

New data show that violence against women remains a global public health crisis. The new Violence Against Women estimates provides the most comprehensive picture yet of intimate partner and non-partner sexual violence https://bit.ly/3K4vCV9 #EndViolence #NoExcuse #16Day

Mondays are proof that time travel is real — and we’re stuck in a loop.

Trust me, I’m almost a Google search away from being a doctor.

Lost in the literature review. Send snacks.

🩸 “Turbulent flow” is one of the most misused terms in medicine. Here’s why most blood flow — even in disease — is not truly turbulent. A short myth-busting thread for clinicians 🧵 (1/4)

Never gets old 😍 #Sydney #SydneyCoast #Australia

Grateful to @NovoNordisk and the judging panel for spotlighting the work of women leading transformative health research. And congratulations to all the inspiring finalists 👉 buff.ly/x7exjyC — thrilled to be in your company 💪 #WomenInSTEM #MarieKroghPrize

Small ostial disease (Medina 0 0 1) is not common (3.5%) but most dangers together with the most common one (Medina 1 1 1) - don’t underestimate #cardiovascular #cardiotwitter #heartdisease

🫀 Why do men and women experience coronary disease so differently? Our work revealed distinct anatomical and blood flow patterns in the left main coronary bifurcation — even in patients without stenosis. 🔗 buff.ly/ZG17FBv #CardiovascularResearch #CTCA #SexDifferences #Bioengineering

Controversial opinion: it is not possible to propose a truely innovative and cutting edge proposal more than a year in advance to funding commencement and then deliver exactly that 🙄! Research must be dynamic and relevant 🧬🔮

So happy with so little

🫀 @SciReports Our study of 127 CTCA scans reveals that key left main coronary anatomy features, like vessel twists, predict *early* coronary disease. This could enable early risk assessment from standard imaging 🧠💻 🔗 buff.ly/AZt0Ypo #CardiovascularResearch #CFD #CTCA #Atherosclerosis #Bioeng
