I forgot to post this. Sleep apnoea, physiology research I published last year on the underlying mechanisms of airway obstruction in REM and NREM sleep. Thank-you to the team for peer review at CHEST® Journal which enhanced this work. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33197399/

Our comprehensive study of circadian phase during the Antarctic winter is published! Read about the impacts for sleep, performance and psychological health during Antarctic, space and other long-duration missions. Jeff Ayton Shantha Rajaratnam Dave Kennaway onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jp…

Ooh Aaah - New video!! 📽️ Awesome 3 min summary of #scabies control from World Scabies Program. Much clearer than my usual 20 min PPT! 😅 Please share Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) #BeatNTDs #scicomm #SkinNTDs youtu.be/QMLIpPa8ek0

The health and safety professionals who monitor air quality in workplaces are telling us that exposure to silica - which causes the debilitating and incurable disease silicosis - is out of control and that we need stronger laws to protect workers. 1/ academic.oup.com/annweh/advance…

9) More EVIDENCE (peer reviewed) that masks do indeed work, especially premium #N95 respirators along with #HEPA filter combination. See peer reviewed study below. #BringBackMasks

We have an awesome PhD opportunity going on our shift work study - great team, cool hands-on data collection experience and really exciting data! Pls share with anyone who might be interested. Msg Andrew J K Phillips or myself with questions! #phdchat Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health ASA NEST

New PhD opportunity in the group investigating individual differences in sleep/circadian rhythms of shift work

“These unnecessary new rules will potentially add significantly to building costs in Canberra and project delays” That’s what the industry lobbying is about. It costs $$ to protect ppl from #silicosis But I think tradies lives are worth it. Do you? miragenews.com/act-silica-reg…

2/10 Near ZERO viral detection when swabbing nostrils of HCWs exposed to a nebulized virus in a sealed clinical room for 40 mins wearing a fit-tested N95 (that passed) plus HEPA filtration. Wearing a non-fit-tested or failed fit-tested N95 not protective. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35535021/

Thank-you Respirology for the opportunity to write an editorial (ow.ly/Hg2950LeYlA) with my colleague Brad Edwards on the very interesting drug trial in OSA study by Kinouchi et al (ow.ly/Eb5N50LeYlB).

Consultation is now open on the National Action Plan for silicosis prevention. As co-chair of the Expert Steering Committee I can not express enough just how important it is to send in your feedback to support all of these actions 👇 lungfoundation.com.au/wp-content/upl…

Proud to be a part of Dr Shane Landry's (Shane Landry) study exploring impact of CPAP mask type (Oronasal vs nasal) on clinical, physiological and anatomical factors of obstructive sleep apnoea. One of the most detailed physiology studies on this topic pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36990149/

Our latest paper on the efficacy of germicidal UV radiation just landed at Journal of Hazardous Materials. Thank-you JHM for a smooth peer review process. doi.org/10.1016/j.jhaz…
