It was a pleasure talking to the SMH about our new study looking at alcohol and depression. We found a little drinking may protect against depression, but important to note that it's harmful for many other conditions.

Today the #LindauAussies visited the Australian Embassy in Berlin & had the privilege of meeting with the Australian Ambassador to Germany Philip Green OAM (Natasha Smith). We learned about the important role the embassy plays in building a bilateral relationship with Germany. 🇦🇺🇩🇪
