At Macquarie University with a cheque for $12,000 presented to Dr Angela Laird’s Laird Neuro Treatment Team Funds raised by the wonderful Bec Lyons. We also got to hear the latest from the inspiring research of Dr Laird’s team, using zebra fish and mice to find a treatment for MJD.

Attended the webinar arranged by AusMicrobiome. Delighted to witness such wide range of work revolving gut-microbiota-brain axis. Australasian Human Microbiome Research Network #AHMRN

My favourite session from today’s webinar was the plenary talk by Prof. Margaret Morris. Such an impactful study 📚 #AHMRN Australasian Human Microbiome Research Network AusMicrobiome

Stop using ChatGPT to understand and synthesise research papers. Instead, use Unriddle, an AI-powered app that allows you to upload your research paper and ask questions. Here's a hack for new academics:

In academia, it's not just who you know – it's who knows you. Make sure you build a standout online presence Start a website, get a LinkedIn profile & post meaningful insights on social media The broader your digital footprint, the more discoverable you become #phd #postdoc

If you are a #gutmicrobiome researcher looking for a post-doctoral position, I have an opportunity for you to join our team Paulsen Lab Professor Mark Molloy Professor Sugar at the beautiful Macquarie University North Ryde campus.

Every day I am in awe of international students. Doing a PhD in your native language and home country is hard. Doing it in a non-native language, in a different country and different culture is so much harder. You are not stupid. You are legends.

"Microbiota from #Alzheimer’s patients induce deficits in cognition and hippocampal neurogenesis" - could a treatment lay in the #GutMicrobiome? #dementia #aging Well done Stefanie and team! So good to see this out! Yvonne Nolan academic.oup.com/brain/advance-…

A successful #PhD doesn't have to be hectic, constantly busy, full of accomplishments, publications, conferences, activity. A successful PhD could also look like this 🧵 #phdlife #phdchat #academictwitter #academicchatter #postgrad The PhD Place PhD_Genie Master Academia

Fasting can exert mood enhancing effects, but it is not clear how. We show that fasting levels of the stomach-derived hormone ghrelin are associated with an elevated mood. Effects were stronger in patients with depression taking no meds. Now published🎉🧵sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Fascinating new paper from Jamie Hackett & colleagues shining a new lens on paternal microbiome "Perturbations to the gut microbiota of prospective fathers increase the probability of their offspring presenting with low birth weight, severe growth restriction & premature mortality"

Irreparable damage to my career
