Consistency of physical activity is key in reducing incidence and mortality from digestive cancers. Optimal dose of consistent physical activity to reduce DCS risk and mortality at approximately 17 MET-hours/week more than doubles the recommended guidelines. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I will join Prof Wendy Lam & Mr Glynn Chambers to talk about the certainty and uncertainty of living with a #cancer diagnosis #PsyOnc #SuppOnc #SurvOnc #FCR #PsychoOncology #OzOnc @cosa-oncology.bsky.social @wwtlam.bsky.social @petermaccc.bsky.social @sydney.edu.au www.linkedin.com/posts/psycho...

🏳️‍🌈 New Report: Advancing# LGBTQ+ Inclusion in #Cancer #ClinicalTrials provides insights into current data collection practices & addresses systemic issues faced by patients, clinicians, & researchers regarding sexuality and gender disclosure. www.linkedin.com/posts/psycho...

🏘️ Collective housing & detention settings were the worst. 🤝 Support, safety & autonomy mattered most. 👩 Clinicians can act on safeguarding risks & help connect people to local support. 📖 Read the blog: buff.ly/JIrBJEO #RefugeeHealth #PolicyChange #ElfHelp

🚨 Detention, disused barracks, budget hotels… New systematic review finds that unsafe & unsupported housing for people seeking asylum is harming mental health. 🔍 Poor hygiene, overcrowding, lack of autonomy & fear were all linked to anxiety, PTSD, depression & more. #MentalHealth #Asylum #Housing

Eastern barred #bandicoots aren't only near the top of the leader-board for being utterly adorable, but they also have one of the shortest pregnancies of any #mammals: they give birth to mini-bandicoots after only 12 days! #BandiCute #Tasmania #marsupials #MammalWatching #WildOz

Natural history #museums are magical, but do they really represent nature, or the people that actually built them? And how they can help save the world? Can't wait to be chatting about my book #NaturesMemory at @linneansociety.bsky.social on 13th Nov. Come along! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/natures-me...

The stars have aligned so that #WorldWombatDay falls on #WombatWednesday this year. Congratulations to #wombats everywhere, for: 🍑A butt that can crush predators to death. 🦷Ever-growing teeth that never wear down. 🧊The ability to poop cubes (so they don't roll off things). 🔵Glorious roundness.

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission) Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

Read @POCOG1's post sharing a new study exploring #BrainTumour related personality and behaviour change in adults with #BTSM - it is not much talked about and carers and families are dealing with it as best they can. #SuppOnc #PsyOnc www.linkedin.com/posts/psycho...

🚨New paper🚨 We identified how #carers & #HCP define & describe #BTSM #BrainTumour related personality & behaviour changes. They are nuanced & complex. Grief, isolation & safety concerns are experienced by carers. #Aggression is a major concern. There is work to do link.springer.com/10.1007/s005...

In this #RCT we found people with #BrainTumour who did 6-week memory program felt better about their memory and how they used memory strategies, and these improvements lasted even after the program ended. #BTSM @sydney.edu.au academic.oup.com/noa/article/...

my theory of revision letters is that they work best when treated like what they're supposed to be, namely, a back-and-forth regarding the science you did and the analysis and communication of it treating revision letters like other things (e.g., kissing the rings of the editor & reviewers) is dumb

Dear parents - Yes you can give your sick child paracetamol if they’re >3 months old. It’s an excellent painkiller. It brings down a high temperature. It’s one of the safest drugs available. You are right to want to soothe your child’s distress. Evidence supports your good parenting. Be confident.

Not quite where I was expecting to be at 0545 this morning. Thanks to #WIRES & @sydney.edu.au vet hospital for taking in an injured ringtail issue this morning. Hopefully the young one will be back to running across rooftops soon.

A brilliant @newyorker.com cover.

#spring in #Erko & the #NativeBees are busy #CadigalLand

1st #Mozzie bite of the season. VirtualGeoff, the #hound, & I stopped for a drink at the end of our walk, sitting outside in the #Erko square and the little buggers got me. As if I haven't donated enough #blood today!

This morning’s activity, #51 and time 6 min 2 sec. Very kind of Lifeblood Au🩸 to have bandages that accessorise so well with my outfit 🤣

I've never been more pleased to see #PlatypusMatters on sale than in the little shop at #CradleMountain Lodge. I started writing it by the fire here on evenings after #fieldwork, and have spent countless hours sat on this log - just minutes away - watching for #platypuses It has come full circle 🥰

Faculty of Science @sydney.edu.au is telling stories of researchers, they've featured the work I collaborate on here “We are producing outcomes that have an impact on practice and how healthcare is delivered to the world.” go.sydney.edu.au/qB3KHg #PsyOnc #PsychoOncology #Psychology #SupportiveCare

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small human (3?) is showing Dad her skills. First she balances on one foot. Whoa... tricky but doable. Then the other... yeah this one's harder. She looks at Dad for approval. He nods with a grin. "Not bad. eh." She beams. This is everything. (1)

We are starting to see higher total cumulative annual mentions for entire organisations on Bluesky than on Twitter. Below are mentions of all research ever published by @leibniz-zmt.de. Bluesky is higher than Twitter in 2025.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A man (30s?) greets a friend with a hug and a booming: "Hey Big Man! Wanna catch up so you can tell me about your mahi*. It's been ages. Ages!" His friend laughs and returns the hug. "Yeah. Why not now? I've always got time for you, my bro." (1)

🧵Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand: A tiny human (2?) offers a bite of her sausage to her plushie cat. BUT WHAT IS THIS?! Plushie Cat is a sausage snob?! (gasp!) This is NOT good enough... Or is it? Tiny Human's frown turns philosophical. Oh well, more for her. (1)

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A tiny human (1ish?) has worked out a new form of transport! (Ooh aah.) If he looks up at the sky, and raspberries A LOT, it can help him run faster. Mum sprinting after him, scooping him up when the power of raspberry propulsion gets too strong. (1)

Thank you Dr @sophiescamps.bsky.social for outlining in parliament why we need to invest in #PreventiveHealth "The benefits of disease prevention for a population's health are manifold." We agree. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyET... Hansard: www.sophiescamps.com.au/we_must_inve...

The #hound sniffed out a #kangaroo leg 🦵 on our walk this morning. Needless to say we stopped for@some munching and crunching #GamilaraayLand.

Sunday arvo listening to the 82 yo #Mother working through her call list. She is calling #WarWidows who’ve recently had birthdays 🎂 to wish them well on behalf of the War Widows Guild. Some people are community contributors to the core.

Humane trap relocated & reset. So far we’ve trapped 1 #FeralCat. Hope to catch another with chicken bones. #GamilaraayLand #TambarSprings

The #brother & his #dog have gone camping 🏕️ for a few days. I checked out the set-up while dropping off a few forgotten items. #GamilaraayLand #TambarSprings.

#TinyJoy today. Marshmallow weed leaves 🍃 casting a #butterfly #shadow #GamilaraayLand #TambarSprings

Back on Bunoon & the #hound sniffed out an #echidna who rapidly dug in. #hound was desperate to interact & took some convincing to leave. #GamilaraayLand #TambarSprings

🧵Spotted in Golden Bay in Aotearoa New Zealand: A white lawnmowing goat is contentedly munching the grass in front of a small, delightfully ramshackle farm house. A rotund tabby cat is stropping against Lawn Goat's back legs. Prayer flags fluttering in a big flowering magnolia tree overhead. (1)

Interesting discussion here with @columnist.bsky.social on law and literature

This Rosenberg's monitor is giving some serious side-eye down on the south coast of #WesternAustralia. #OzHerps #lizards

It’s the sheer number that angers me. 🤬

this is the march to get to the #MarchForHumanity 🇵🇸 we don’t need to cops to close down the streets when we turn out like this

At the march in Sydney today, so many powerful signs. 🇵🇸 #MarchForHumanity #SaveGaza #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine

At the march in Sydney today, so many powerful signs. 🇵🇸 #MarchForHumanity #SaveGaza #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine

Heading into the city for today’s March for Humanity across the Harbour Bridge

Solidarity with everyone protesting in Sydney and Melbourne today. Thank you for standing up to prove to our government that this is not a fringe issue. Australians do not accept being forced to be complicit with this genocide. #freePalestine #saveGaza #marchforhumanity #auspol #politas

Reminder: If you hear anyone claiming the #MarchForHumanity #SaveGaza March across the Sydney Harbour Bridge today in support of Palestine is somehow anti-Semitic,the Jewish Council of Australia supports it. 👇 And here's their full media release: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2025/08/medi...
