This new Nature article talks about a concerning trend of researchers reporting high rates of anxiety, depression and mental health issues, as well as extremely poor work-life balance in academia. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Brilliant innings from Alex Carey taking the game away from India. Should Australia declare now? #IndiavsAustralia #WTCFinal2023

Very interesting findings from my colleagues in the Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute: Sleep Health

My latest #research about the impact of text contrast polarity on the retinal activity in #myopia using #electrophysiology has just been published with Springer Nature in Scientific Reports Find it here: rdcu.be/dgqbZ

Had a busy Friday with Flinders University Master of Optometry students. In two separate workshops, we discussed 'research basics' and how to get started with their research projects. Such an energetic bunch. #Research #teachingandlearning

Flinders Optometry organized a Sports Day today. Amazing day participating in fun activities organized by optometry students.

In this new systematic review, we found conflicting evidence for an association between systemic melatonin and myopia in humans. Associations between systemic melatonin and human myopia: A systematic review. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… Flinders Caring Futures Institute #myopia

Dr. Victoria Tang presenting some exciting work on circadian rhythm disruption in myopic children from the lab. SALHN research week.

Extremely delighted. I will be presenting at the RANZCO meeting in Perth in a plenary session organized by the Australian Vision Research about my research on circadian dysregulation in myopia or short-sighted in children. RANZCO @australianvisionresearch

Our new article shows first evidence of significant circadian disruption and sleep disturbances in myopic, or short-sighted children. Thank you @australianvisionresearch Flinders Caring Futures Institute for generous funding. Flinders University. Good sleep may be important for normal eye growth.

It was a wonderful experience presenting at the @ RANZCO 54th Annual Scientific Congress in Perth this week, and an absolute honour to be speaking at the @australianvisionresearch plenary session about some of my current research on myopia alongside some other brilliant speakers.

I received this lovely email from a student today. It truly reinforces the value of our efforts for the students. These small gestures wield immense power in reminding us why we are committed to what we do.

First trip to India in seven years. First trip for the little guy. Excitement is quite evident ♥️ #travelling

Save the date for our first Optica Technical Groups #clinicalvisionsciencesTG webinar by Dr. Morven Cameron moderated by Ranjay Chakraborty, PhD on 12th March 7:00PM Eastern Time!! Register at: osa.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

It was fantastic to have my research on sleep and circadian disruption in childhood myopia featured in Channel 7 news last night. An important area of research on children visual health. Thanks to Flinders University @australianvisionresearch Flinders Caring Futures Institute for generous funding.

Just wrapped up an amazing experience at #arvo2024! From giving a talk, presenting a poster, to moderating sessions, it's been a whirlwind. Huge thanks to ARVO for a wonderfully organized event in Seattle. Flinders Caring Futures Institute College NHS

In this new article, short-term exposure to cyan light (507 nm) resulted in a significant reduction in axial length and choroidal thickening, while red light exposure caused axial elongation and choroidal thinning in young adults and children. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/op… #myopia
