Great couple of days at Madras Diabetes Research Foundation in Chennai. Looking forward to another 10 years of collaboration! @deakinresearch @DeakinHealth @IMPACTDeakin

@MicrobiomDigest @nytopinion @nytimes @acsifferlin @jashkenas Great animations!

So thrilled to see my Opinion piece for @nytopinion in @nytimes print edition today! Here's an unpaywalled link to the online version with great animations and graphics by Gus Wezerek and Timo Lenzen. Thank you @acsifferlin & @jashkenas for inviting me. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Very excited to share this pre-print! Some great work led by Sean McGee. @ResearchGate: researchgate.net/publication/36…

@jordanwalter @Bryony_McNeill @LeniRose_Rivera @debbaldi Thanks, pretty sure you were a rebel 😉

@KatAM_Deakin @Bryony_McNeill @LeniRose_Rivera @debbaldi Fantastic article!!

Very excited to announce my first publication in Medical Education Research! With Janet McLeod, @Bryony_McNeill, @LeniRose_Rivera, @debbaldi We need to rethink how biomed degrees prepare students for the study of Medicine. rdcu.be/cWUGx

@jordanwalter That brittle is sooooo good! Mmmmm

Finders Keepers market treasures 😍

@DrDEMartin @Bryony_McNeill @LeniRose_Rivera @debbaldi Yes, we will definitely need to keep an eye on what happens with our new cohorts. It will also be important to elucidate the contributing factors, clin exp, age, ability to problem solve...

@KatAM_Deakin @Bryony_McNeill @LeniRose_Rivera @debbaldi Interesting! Would love to know if trends've changed w/ our MD & curriculum changes. I note uncertainty that academic success in med ed ==> better performance in future practice. Plus potential adv of prior clin. exp surely ⬇️ once all grads get exp as Dr in healthcare setting?

A review of research papers done in India on "Quality of life among people with diabetes" got published in IJEM recently. #phdlife The link journals.lww.com/indjem/Fulltex… Thanks, @drmohanv @KatAM_Deakin @AntMikocka for the support and guidance.

@StambasLab @DeakinMedicine Outstanding presentation!

Congratulations to our talented and hardworking PhD student, Jess Pedrina, for giving an excellent PhD Completion Seminar yesterday @DeakinMedicine.

⚠️Please be aware that fake emails inviting researchers to submit their work to us & asking for payment are being circulated. They look plausible but are NOT legitimate. Do pass on unusual correspondence to us so that scammers are investigated/closed down diabetologia-journal.org/email-scam/

Hi Islet friends. Does anyone use a perifusion system that they would recommend? I'd like to be able to use islets and beta-cells as well as hydrogels. Thanks!

We are looking for a new PostDoc to join our group @UNSWMedicine investigating new nanoparticle-based anti-inflammatory therapies for treating cardiovascular disease. Please RT and share! external-careers.jobs.unsw.edu.au/cw/en/job/5106…

We'll it's more than a year late, but glad sticking it out is acknowledged! credly.com/badges/b05ef62…

Welcome to the Australasian Diabetes Congress! #22ADC

We are also recruiting postdocs for our lab @MDC_Berlin to work on: 1. iPSC-islet organoids 2. Genetic screens 3. Single-cell biology and computation Great research environment and city! DM me to learn more.

@FromPhDtoLife Learning to do those things, become independent, have evaluative judgement etc. is training.

What parts of a PhD are the "training" parts? Because teaching classes and all that goes with it isn't training. Writing a dissertation isn't training. Conducting research isn't training. Seems relatively little training is involved and mostly a whole lot of actual work & admin.

@MelkamKebede Not so impressed?

Our first Gordon Conference together.
