Here to admit some of my unconscious ableism - yesterday we got mums wheelchair (she can't walk well or far now due to the impacts of the brain cancer) - I thought it would be a sad moment, but as soon as I got her in it she smiled and said "we can go for trips to the beach now!"

So I wrote this pasta piece you may have seen and then @theprojecttv goes & publishes whole chunks of it without attribution while saying “scientists say” without even mentioning me, the scientist who said it. Rude!

Stop hating on pasta – it actually has a healthy ratio of carbs, protein and fat

Low carb diets are popular and pasta is often in the firing line for those who think it might contribute to weight gain. But your favourite dinner is being unfairly maligned!

PhD students stressed in these COVID days, remember you are the product we care about, not your thesis, we can sort everything else out as long as we keep you well. I had a huge life disruption during my PhD, I understand the feels, but we'll work it out & you will thrive again.

#peaches ! Did you know that nectarines are actually just a type of peach with a mutation stopping the fuzz from growing on the skin. Regular peach trees sometimes randomly grown nectarines & nectarine trees sometimes grow normal peaches as the genes get switched on & off.

One year ago today, it was one month after mum died. I was starting to do normal things again. It was my first day back at the gym (I’d let it slide caring for her) as I walked back to the car and know number called. I nearly ignored it… 1/?

I just went on ABC radio Melbourne to explicitly give Melbourne permission to eat whatever heck they like (not that you need my permission). Loving the comfort food chats, you do you friends. Eat what makes you happy, no side serve of guilt. Food is more than just nutrients.

Someone I know recently resigned from their job & the most common reaction has been "but you are so passionate about your work!" Stop milking passionate people in your organisations. Don't take their passion for granted. Don't use it as leverage. Passion alone isn't enough.

My MiL didn’t want to pay $100 for a cake for a party, so she’s making it. But she wants it to be perfect, so has purchased a bunch of equipment, made 3 practices and is currently sorting mixed sprinkles into different colours by hand so at this point the cake is about $300.

I’m actually going to use this as a example for my students as to why you can’t always directly translate ex vivo studies into humans.

The demise of Jenny Craig does not symbolize the downfall of diet culture. It signals a shift from overt to covert diet culture. Watch out for wolves (diets) in sheep’s clothing (“lifestyles”, “wellness”, “well-being”, “challenges”, “fasting”).

If you’re directly applying your drinks to your liver, we have much bigger problems.

I saw my ex-boyfriends twin while I was out today. Luckily I am also a twin so we could both easily pretend not to know each other.
