And what about stool as non-invasive screening for Pseudomonas in non-expectorating patients? Thanks to co-authors @matthew_macowan @BenJMarsland @SarathRanganath @JoseCaparrosPhD & supporters @MCRI_for_kids @RCHMelbourne @CFAustralia @MonashSTM #SynergyCF

Women should feel safe walking alone in public. Women should feel safe at work. Women should feel safe at home. Women should feel safe online. Women should feel safe in public transportation. Women should feel safe EVERYWHERE. RT if you agree!

Great news for eligible 6-11 yo children with cystic fibrosis - Trikafta will be subsidised on the PBS from May 1st. What a life-changing date for many people in Australia, including those of us who have been researching early lung disease in this condition for all these years!

I won't share a photo because they simply don't deserve the attention. But yesterday, anti-trans activists gathered to spread hate. And on the steps of our Parliament, some of them performed a Nazi salute.

Important to reflect on the many lessons of pandemic/lockdown induced changes to clinical practice - and to have the data to support our learnings. Great to be involved in this study @RCHMelbourne

Saw this hanging in the resus room last night. I really like the way it’s worded and I think I’ll use this wording going forward.
