Really lucky to work with this legend @guycameron.me on this great program that supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to get there foot in the door of research Thanks to generous support from the school of biomedical sciences and pharmacy at UoN youtu.be/I1nWOyoLvbA?...

I’m incredibly proud to share this feature written by the Hunter Children’s Research Foundation (HCRF) about our work on kids’ ear health: 🔗 www.hcrf.org.au/news/researc...

Does every patient with lumbar spinal stenosis and high-signal facet joints need spinal fusion? 🧵 Our new study says no, not always! A simpler approach might be the way forward for some patients in the Hunter New England Local Health District. www.doi.org/10.1007/s005...

Proud to share I’ve passed the major assessment component of my medical degree and am one step closer to becoming a doctor! Just applied for a NSW Health junior medical officer position in the Hunter New England Local Health District, fingers crossed 🤞

How many duplications does it take to get a paper retracted? @wiley.com's Liver International thinks that 10 duplications are still not enough, and issued a correction, just deleting the offending figure 6. Unbelievable. pubpeer.com/publications...

Had a blast learning from the incredible team at the National Indigenous Television (NITV) and the Australian Science Media Centre (@aussmc.bsky.social)! Here’s a fun moment as a teaser, proper post is in the works 😀

Acute otitis media occurs almost exclusively after a viral upper respiratory tract infection. Children with mild or moderate symptoms can be treated with antibiotics or closely observed. Learn more in a new Clinical Practice article: nej.md/4iewDVV #MedSky #PedSky #IDSky

Thanks for having me!! Learned so much about media, highly recommend to all our mob in research. Proud to be here yarning about some of our work at University of Newcastle and @hmriaustralia.bsky.social. Such a deadly team at SBS NITV!! ✊🏽

4°C of global warming would make us 40% poorer. It would also mean: ⚡️ More extreme weather 🌊 Rising sea levels 🌍 Global supply chain disruptions 🏥 Strained health systems 🧍‍♀️ Mass displacement The costs of inaction far outweigh the costs of reducing emissions. It's time to phase out coal and gas.

For the first time in NSW history, senior and junior doctors are taking industrial action together, 8-10 April. We have spent years trying to address the staffing crisis in our public hospitals. This is our last resort.

Delighted to share our new paper on 3D imaging of an intact organism via a distributed molecular network, now out in Nature Biotechnology: doi.org/10.1038/s415... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Powerful conversations during our Indigenous Health Workshop at #ASOHNS (Australian Society of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery) Annual Scientific Meeting. It was an honour to sit alongside passionate colleagues committed to rethinking ENT care for future generations! 🧵 Here’s what was shared:

ASOHNS support the GO Foundation founded by Adam Goodes and Michael O’Loughlin. A foundation that create opportunities for Indigenous young people through programs with a focus on culture and education.

Scientists have created the first map of the crucial structures called mitochondria throughout the entire brain https://go.nature.com/4c2YMxw

This is 10x the budget of NIH that has already been lost to America, as Trump and Musk seek to gut the government for their personal profit.

Mark your calendars @ibnsconnect.bsky.social early career seminar series is relaunching Sheida Shadani is presenting April 16 Australia time (April 15 USA time).

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Excited to post for the first time to present our exciting new paper @Nature. The fruit of massive work by Tommaso Vicanolo, @alazozcan.bsky.social and Jackson Li, and our superb collaborators Laiguan and Stefan Uderhardt. True teamwork! Free link: rdcu.be/eeeA2 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hello @bsky.app! My first post here had to be about neutrophils, which are so much more than you think! We are thrilled to unveil yet another fascinating layer of their complexity. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to this work—I truly hope you enjoy the read!

Excited to share our research on paediatric ear health, focused on equity for Aboriginal children. By studying the microbiome we aim to expand treatment options and improve outcomes in the future. Read more about our work funded by NSW Health: www.medicalresearch.nsw.gov.au/helping-to-c...

“Many laboratories will simply shut down. Scientists will leave. I personally know of high-level scientists already being recruited by foreign institutions. A significant impact will be not having access to new medicines.”

Don't use red and green data lines/surfaces in the same panel please #chemsky. It can be difficult for some colorblind readers to differentiate them. I've accepted (in principle) 2 papers today, and both sets of authors were asked to remove red/green colour contrasts www.nature.com/articles/d41...

How are chromosome breaks repaired and how is their repair influenced and facilitated by nuclear and genome dynamics? Fantastic initiative and collaboration with @karimmekhail.bsky.social, @chiololab.bsky.social, and @lablegube.bsky.social. @natrevmcb.bsky.social Link to article: rdcu.be/edViW

Spatial transcriptomics holds great promise to understand biological tissue function, but the assignment of transcripts to cells has been a substantial bottleneck. For this reason, Elyas Heidari, a student in my lab and in @steglelab.bsky.social built segger. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Every time I find one of these, I laugh harder. Today's find - headlines saying that mangoes can improve diabetes. The study was funded by BIG MANGO. Wonderful stuff. Better than fiction.

Very excited to have been involved in this important work at the University of Newcastle. I highly encourage people to take a look at the article for practical advice on supporting equity for Indigenous researchers. It's a pleasure working with @guycameron.me and the whole team on these projects

Proud to share our latest publication on Indigenous student engagement in biomedical science & pharmacy! Our work at The University of Newcastle highlights pathways for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander students, breaking down barriers & fostering equity. 🌐 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

A medical administration manager at John Hunter Hospital has called its junior doctors a ‘workforce of clinical marshmallows’. This is completely unacceptable. Junior doctors are overworked, underpaid, and as this instance clearly shows: undervalued. NSW doctors deserve better!

“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house." Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded. www.statnews.com/2025/01/30/t...
