Do plastics cause autism? Here’s what the latest study really says theconversation.com/do-plast… via @ConversationEDU - an article from our own @Eli_melb. @ResearchRMIT @RRG_Vlahos
So proud of all the RMIT research fellows - but special shout-out to @JessHolien, @DrQuinn4realz and @BobbiFleiss from the STEM college who were highlighted at todays Vice Chancellor’s Research Fellow event.
@ResearchRMIT @RMIT
So proud of all the HDRs that presented their @3MT_official today at @ResearchRMIT. Awesome efforts.
Massive shoutout to @mary_slayo - congrats on the best honours prize and we are proud to have you for your PhD with @SJSpencerLab!! @ResearchRMIT
So proud to be celebrating the best and brightest of SHBS from 2022. #academicexcellence @ResearchRMIT
Prizes to our own @Nhi_Thao_Tran and @CourtGilx - congrats!! 🎉🧬🎊🔬
Massive congrats to @Woah_Science_ from the @mtolcos lab for making it the @FameLab finals for his ace sci com skills! 🎉🎊🥳 @ResearchRMIT
Incredibly honoured to announce I am one of three ECRs who have made it to the finals of the @FameLab competition
Genuinely the semi finals were full of talented & friendly science communicators
Can't wait to see the rest of the finalists in Perth later this year!
So excited to be getting together IRL today to celebrate our HDR students and welcome our new staff. 🎉🧫🧬🔬
@ResearchRMIT with all our HFRG team and the School of Health and Biomedical Science.

Absolutely love this. So relatable to #science. Especially right now as those in #Aus are wrapping up #GrantSeason
If you watch one thing today, make it Giannis Antetokounmpo's response to a question on failure.

Thanks to our PhD student Isabelle Shearer for the cool image for this! #phdlife #neuropathology
Perivascular macrophages (PVM) self-renew, meaning they're with us our whole life! PVM are an immune cell found in the space around blood vessels. They migrate into the #brain early in the development of the central nervous system. #BrainWeek #premstem

And that’s a wrap! Thanks @mypsanz for a great event! Inspiring and motivating.
Refeeding syndrome - the demineralisation of bone to enable rapid growth leading to blood phosphate and calcium imbalance. Excellent study linking severe refeeding markers with poor outcomes and death. From Dr Barbara Cormack @AucklandLiggins #PSANZ2023
Interesting retrospective cohort study- in preterms chorio reduces the risk of ROP, but steroids and platelet transfusion (and 02 supp, expected) increased risk. Further work needed to understand what inflammation alone does to retinal growth factor production.
Picture above show that Dr Sam Ebenezer Athikarisamy’s data @UWAresearch is supported by two other research papers. Really interesting work. Arguably smaller than ideal numbers - but well considered and valuable.
Fascinating studies of the differences in breastmilk over time by Dr Mariana Meulbert from @AucklandLiggins - may hold keys to supporting growth in babies with sub-optimal growth. #PSANZ2023
Thyroid analogues as a treatment for FGR - a terrific summary of a detailed pre-clinical study from Ginevra today from the @mtolcos lab. #PSANZ2023
We are failing our First Nations people. Staggering rates of early infant death. This can be improved with more woman-centred care on country. @mypsanz #PSANZ2023
It’s on and we couldn’t be prouder of @Nhi_Thao_Tran, @sajidamalik14 & @CourtGilx from the teams of @SJSpencerLab and @mtolcos who are graduating with their PhDs today!! Fireworks, live music and so much excitement. Not even Melb’s weather can dampen the atmosphere. @ResearchRMIT
That’s a wrap! Thanks to @AusNeuroSoc organiser from the HFRG for the amazing event #ANS22.
