There's usually more than one way to overcome a barrier in life…

@TWBredy Agree, way too many, but many of the best - and many which are not very good - are charging authors thousands of dollars to publish and expecting everyone to edit and review these articles for free...

theguardian.com/science/2024/f… “Editors are not fulfilling their roles properly, and peer reviewers are not doing their jobs. And some are being paid large sums of money" In reality, most reviewers (and editors) are doing free work for highly profitable companies, the system is broken

Happy to announce my new book, addressing the current state of play on treatments for #depression is available now through all major sellers. It covers the benefits and limitations of #antidepressants, #psychotherapy, #TMS, #ketamine and #psilocybin. shorturl.at/qFGV9

Really proud to join the academy alongside such a distinguished group of new fellows although unfortunately had to cancel attending the meeting and presentation dinner at the last minute - another COVID impact! aahms.org/news/australia…

Looks like it is going to take some time for things to change at #Qantas ! I wonder if this one was ever going to fly?

Really exciting new results in really well conducted study led by Dr Perera during her outstanding PhD. Great that she is now leading research to build on this, to try and confirm the findings and improve the methods further. doi.org/10.1155/2023/9…

Transcranial magnetic stimulation can treat depression. Developing research suggests it could also help autism, ADHD and OCD theconversation.com/transcranial-m… via @ConversationEDU

@QIMRBerghofer Very important to note this study does NOT show that #TMS does not work for #OCD - just that the novel approach tested doesn't. Larger studies have already established that other approaches do work (and are clinically approved). More info here: mmhg.com.au/resources/ocd-…

After 8 years of clinical trials, transcranial magnetic stimulation (#TMS) treatment for #OCD has not provide expected results. A/Professor Luca Cocchi said the findings will help direct attention to more effective ways of tackling OCD symptoms. 🖱️: tinyurl.com/mt7ccnad

Amazing tour of the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) facility and supercomputer on campus at #ANU yesterday. Like a sci fi movie but with better art work!

Great to see sensitive coverage of the 'hidden' MI, #OCD. Would be good to acknowledge the challenges of existing treatment (and need for new options like #TMS) which are fortunately coming online tinyurl.com/yextwyrz
