This is beautiful. I wish I saw more of these real life heroes in my life when growing up!
Today at my little ones school it is dress up as an ‘everyday hero’ I suggested some amazing people to my daughter…she just really wanted to be me 😳🥰 because I work so hard “to make medicine to save mums and babies when things go wrong in pregnancy” #WomeninSTEMM #Heros 👩🏻🔬👩🏽⚕️👩🏼💻
Interesting read about some of the cellular rejuvenation research. A lot of food for thought. technologyreview.com/2022/10… #research #aging #biotech #CellularReprogramming #Longevity
If you’ve ever thought why is there not a better treatment for x, y, or z or been thankful there was a good treatment option it’s because the investment in research was made. Aus has the minds, the skills, the technology - we just don’t have the money #SaveOzScience #research
Prof Fiona Wood AM, research pioneer & @TheASMR1 medallist, delivering the @PressClubAust address, on the funding crisis:
“I live with the fact that I can’t sleep at night because I haven’t got enough funding for my junior researchers, and where am I going to get it from?-

I should have majored in jam making 😂

Excellent easy-to-read summary, as always, by Dr. Burgio @GaetanBurgio - if this trend continues we will have nothing left to translate. #Innovation comes from basic research. #Budget22 #Research #SaveOzScience

Important debate happening in Australia about research funding. A country that doesn’t invest in research (in science and social science and the arts by the way) will inevitably become a country in relative decline. The 21st century will be the century of knowledge.
Thanks @liammannix for the article, great to include those wise words by @ProfBrianCox in @QandA and, always, huge thanks @ARC_Tracker for being the voice of Australian scientists. Research is KEY for our societies and it needs to be appreciated & properly funded by governments
What a fantastic research collaboration! Can’t wait to see this tech develop further, it’s desperately needed for #OvarianCancer. #research #biotech #ovariancancerawareness #medtech #AusResearch
The symptoms of ovarian cancer are commonly misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal or bowel problems, leading to high rates of late diagnosis in women. In a new @nhmrc project, our aim is to create a device that could detect ovarian cancer before symptoms arise

Fascinating read about ‘The Lost Women of Science’ initiative technologynetworks.com/tn/ar… #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM #science #HERstory #MatildaEffect #LostWomenOfScience #podcast
So thankful to the @VCCCAlliance for giving us the opportunity to hear from Prof. Harold Varmus, took me to the end of the session to get over my nerves to ask a question (went over-time!) but Prof. Varmus was gracious and very giving of his time and words of wisdom #Inspired

Absolutely loved the talk by @the_funkydr today about #scicomm as part of the #CCPhD symposium, I definitely won’t have trouble taking the advice to spend 5-15mins on twitter every day! 😁 #cancerphd #phdandbeyond #excitescience
So if you’re in science & need a bit of comic relief right now I’d just like to remind everyone there is a twitter account ran by an electric eel - its tank is wired to a 💻 and every time it discharges electricity it equals tweets like ZAP! or BUZZ! etc. 😂⚡️😎@EelectricMiguel
Science is getting us out of the pandemic, and science and technology is what is needed for our future yet our government has done everything in its power to decimate the sector as we head into a future that is increasingly more reliant on it 🧐#auspol #ClimateAction #STEM
When it’s your first time foraying into bioinformatics to analyze your data, maybe study space at home will provide a nice quiet space to focus…only to realise the cat owns your study space now! 😸 #workingfromhome #AcademicTwitter #catmanager #LearnToCode #Bioinformatics

“The failure of medicine to listen to women, to invest in the health of women, is an attack on both our bodies and our dignity. And our struggle is not just to receive treatment, but to be seen as worthy of treatment.” If you read one article today - choose this. #lifeofawoman

Hey @DanielAndrewsMP and @VictorianCHO! If you're looking to engage with young #Victorians, we've got plenty of young scientists, science communicators and clinicians ready to go! All you gotta do is reach out!

Great initiative! If you need a bit of escapism this lockdown why not also support local business and Australian authors at the same time! (Honestly amazed anyone has been able to finish and publish a book in the past year 🙌) #COVID19Aus #SupportLocal #BookTwitter
