After a long embargo, and many many happy tears, I am beyond thrilled to shout from the rooftops that I've been awarded a 2021 Al and Val Rosenstrauss Fellowship from the Rebecca L Cooper Medical Research Foundation 🥳

Things that no one tells you: your post doc (and beyond) is just like doing your PhD over and over again

🌟 new paper online! 🌟 We find evidence that the human brain is significantly “rewired” after exposure to significant levels of stress, particularly if the stress occurred in childhood. @domkaul @ihmri @MolHorizons @uowresearch @illawarramerc

How cool is this? @FranklinWomen have repurposed their carers scholarship for these covid times, offering either a $400 voucher to reduce the burden of meal prep (my personal favourite 🤣) or virtual coaching sessions 👌Legends 👸🏻👸🏼👸🏾👸🏽👸🏿

much more fun when lab work results in pretty pictures rather than numbers or smears. ps. this is what your hippocampus looks like.

Whoever the early career researcher is - that takes significant bravery, I wouldn’t have had the guts. Sadly, I hope this doesn’t affect her career. She should be celebrated, not punished. Policies are made for a reason, I hope to see it enforced.

My mum listened the #presser today and texted me “A lung specialist from concord hospital is very clearly explaining the [covid] symptoms. Finally something we understand.” So much of the #covidnsw debacle has been poor science communication, inaccessible language.

Thanks to @nhmrc funding we've discovered how the brain is rewired after stress - during one of the most stressful chapters in our history. With further funding, we could understand how to stop mental illness developing after stress. #AdvanceAustraliaCare #auspol @ScottMorrisonMP

A simple thing we can all practice as men this week including me: Don’t interrupt women when they are speaking at meetings/public spaces. It may seem small but it’s significant when many women have a lifetime of being talked over by men to belittle, dismiss or silence them.
