What an awesome #GutBrainAxis symposium at #PNIRS2025 in Bordeaux! Huge honor to co-chair with @elimelb.bsky.social and share the stage with Frank Duca and Allen Lab’s own Elisa Caetano-Silva. Incredible science and even better people. Thanks to everyone who joined us!

Exciting to see this breakthrough work in prostate cancer treatments led by @drcamkkinase.bsky.social @monashuniversity.bsky.social and @pseudokinase.bsky.social @wehi-research.bsky.social published today! @pnas.org @heraldsun.bsky.social

In a world where every life counts, our research holds the promise of a healthier tomorrow. #ImpactInAction 🧪 🧬 🔬 💊

Thirty years ago, the Australian Open looked at introducing five-set tennis for women, an experiment that ultimately never took place.

Very important work! Establishing a developmental baseline for the infant microbiome across the globe 🌍 🦠 great to see 🦠

Very exciting findings that gut microbes drive sugar consumption via a FGF21, GLP-1 and FFAR4-mediated mechanism. A potential game changer for nutritional science and diabetes. 🥇

In the words of #valtteri bottas “what’s next?” Planning 2025 over coffee #melbourne #australia don’t look too closely at that green fluffy lawn

It was great to host @rancillac.bsky.social - who already submitted a very large number of publications for 2025!!! It was a very productive scientific visit despite some harmless sliders, roadside attractions, fires 🔥 and auroras 💫💫

The best office ever! #Australia #Neuroscience

As an amateur videographer I sat in a fireside chat with Prof Tracy Bale, #IBRO president @thebalelab.bsky.social and co-chief editor of Neurosience, Prof Sarah Spencer @sjspencerlab.bsky.social at #ANS2024!!! Hear the latest in global neuroscience below!!! 🧠 🌎

www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFpt... I had the privilege and fun of chatting with the fabulous #IBRO president, Prof Tracy Bale, @thebalelab.bsky.social at the #ANS2024 meeting in Perth. Check out her thoughts on Australian science and the IBRO presidency role. Thx to @elimelb.bsky.social on camera.

Incidentally kept getting questions about whether my family owned the hotel bar (Hill St, Perth) - we do not 🥂

#brunswick #merribek in Melbourne Australia have opened a new park for the holiday season and some have jumped onto the needlework as well

Interesting work - T cells!! @drquinn4realz.bsky.social :)

Hi everyone - we had a great ASAN (Australasian Society for Autonomic Neuroscience) meeting in Sydney last week!! We talked all things gut, cardiac, respiratory and of course vagal nerve stimulation was a major feature! 🧠 🧬 🧪 ❤️

Following on from below, introducing #ASAN to BlueSky: a new and diverse society with an annual meeting (& prizes 🏆!) to discuss autonomic neuroscience, dinner & DJ, free publication of abstracts & all the good things! australasianautonomic.org

Balmy morning here in melbourne and preparing for ASAN (Australasian Society for Autonomic Neuroscience) in Sydney next week ☀️✈️

Happy to be here for the science, humour, advocacy but most importantly linking up with old friends! Hi everyone :)
