On June 13, I’m embarking on #TheBigAdventure – the first TRUE South-North traverse of the British Isles (forget Land’s End – John o’ Groats!) for children’s mental health. To support me on this historic world first please go to: gofundme.com/f/south-north-a… Every penny counts folks!

A big win last night for The CNS Lab! @PopPsych, a startup based on Nathan’s current PhD research, took out four awards at the #eChallenge Finals and won $40K in cash and prizes. We’re excited to see (and hear) our research on music and emotion come to life! 🎵

Last night we celebrated the end of the year with some lawn bowls! Our skills were... okay. Turns out we’re better at calculating z-scores rather than physical distances. 😂

Please help (&retweet): we are looking for a copy of ANU3 occupational prestige scale. Can't find it online, in text, or ANU data repository. Corresponds with ASCO1 1989. Does anyone have a copy of this scale? NOT the ANU3_2 (we have that one). Ta! @natashamwood15 @WhatAustThinks

Chronic inflammation removes motivation by reducing dopamine in the brain

Why do we feel listless when we are recovering from an illness? The answer is, apparently, that low-grade chronic inflammation interferes with the dopaminergic signaling system in the brain that...
