The research behind Burnet deputy program director A/Prof A/Prof Megan Lim's The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand article, 'Help, I’ve just discovered my teen has watched porn! What should I do?' is now published! The study explores parents’ awareness of and responses to their children's exposure to porn.

We have touchdown in Madagascar! The GIFT has already begun one-on-one investigator meetings with our partners at the Institut Pasteur de Madagascar to explore new possibilities and applications for the GIFT device. #Gift4Africa ##InstitutPasteurDeMadagascar #HealthResearch

Day 1 in Madagascar revealed interesting insights. Dr Lindi Masson highlighted the critical role of device incubation time, while Micaela Lurie emphasised the potential benefits of using inflammation as a primary endpoint. Stay tuned for more insights from Day 2!

Qualitative Researcher, JayJay Karumazondo, shared valuable insights from his research on user experience, and the importance of prestation in its acceptance and success. It’s all happening in Madagascar! #Gift4Africa #InstitutPasteurDeMadagascar

The GIFT team has hit its stride on Day 2 with each session uncovering even more possibilities and insights. Today’s focus centres on brainstorming new use cases and future directions for the device. We’re so excited to be part of these groundbreaking discussions. #Gift4Africa
