Doesnt have to disappear. In our house we still call music "nubip", mangoes "fanangoes"; elephants "oshleks" and talk about how we're "cement to" do things.
Super excited to be part of this @SCUonline led MRFF project launching a world-first stepped care approach (#naturebased, #visualarts and #psychedelic interventions) to assist treatment resistant #PTSD from #naturaldisasters associated with #climatechange
I’m honoured to share that our team at @SCUonline has been awarded $3.8m from the MRFF to research a world first stepped-care, #MDMA-assisted-therapy trial for #PTSD in a disaster context. It will be the largest #psychedelic clinical trial in #Australia.
More importantly...
I don't post much on this site any more, but would love to have you consider supporting some of the incredible work our researchers are doing at NCNM during our Giving campaign. Check out their stories of impact and how to support them here fundraise.scu.edu.au/event/n…

Great to see @MargaretFaux acknowledged. Her critics focused on one message they didn't like - that Medicare was ripe for fraudulent exploitation - & ignored complex & nuanced analysis of numerous inefficiencies from systemic issues, inc first evidence of fear-based underbilling
The Independent Review of Medicare Integrity and Compliance from Dr Pradeep Philip confirms and validates the research conducted by @MargaretFaux in her PhD thesis. #Medicare

"While the RBA is worried about people's wages being too high, the data shows inflation would have stayed within the RBA's target range if corporations hadn't gouged customers at the checkout."
@GrogsGamut explains 👇 #auspol
As the predictable fearmongering rolls out about wage rises, just remember that it is excess corporate profits are the main culprit driving inflation, not workers’ wages. #auspol
It's hard to believe this was both so long ago and yet so recent. One year today since #lismorefloods which still deeply impacts us all. Thinking of everyone in my still very much recovering adopted home town today
It's been a year since the Lismore flood disaster, but few lessons have been learned abc.net.au/news/2023-02-27/h…
When in Chicago for a medical conference it's important to make a visit to the most sacred pilgrimage site for nephrologists everywhere
Like for many, 2022 was a rough year so have not been posting much but was nice to start the year clearing my head with loved ones in Kosciuszko NP. Hard to see into the mists to know what 2023 will bring but looking forward to aiming for a more productive and prosperous year

Parsley, leek, bread, polenta and cheese...another 18thc recipe where the nice food gets applied on the skin and the patient has to eat dung #RecipeorRemedy
ALT Image shows an excerpt from a printed medical recipe book. The recipe for 'inflammation of the eyes' reads: 'cheese put on the eyes, sugar put in the eyes, mouse-ear with polenta, applied plaister-ways, the leaves of great house leek applied, parsley with bread'

Australians are some of the highest users of #naturalmedicine in the world, yet our health care system has lower levels of regulation and integration of #traditionalmedicine than most countries.

I've heard people wonder why Lismore is still reeling so much from this year's floods 6 months on, but this puts it in perspective. Lismore well equipped to deal with floods, but 2022 was unprecedented at a level once thought impossible, but that climate change now makes possible

Legitimately surprised how directionless and lacking in detail this report is. As Lismore resident every time I travel for work I get shocked how life in rest of Oz moving on as normal. It doesn't here, region still very much in limbo. It's not good enough theguardian.com/australia-ne…
At our yoga day event with @cgisydney, we heard many stories of how yoga had helped people in their #lismorefloods recovery journey. In response, our program ‘Yoga for Health & Harmony’ launches this week, starting with free weekly community yoga classes eventbrite.com/e/ncnm-presen…
Amazing night. First live gig since 2019. @sigurros show as awesome as always. An aural, physical and visual sensory overload
Lismore's recovery efforts have been almost entirely Indigenous-led. Work of @koorimailnews & others (e.g. CASPA & We Al-li) during #lismorefloods clear proof of benefits of greater Indigenous inclusion in decision-making & why more is better for us all abc.net.au/news/2022-08-04/s…
